Who Wants to Open a Store on Smith Street?
From the Craig... and might I say this is the best use of "hipster" I've seen yet--apparently being "hipster" is a pre-existing condition. No matter what you open in this storefront, you are guaranteed hipness. Absolutely fabulous--it's why I love Brooklyn. Manhattan is sooo last year in the hip parade ;)

Ewww......which space is this, anyway?
That's good news, I have been wishing I could lease some hipness for sometime.
Pish and piddle!
Smith street is so over as a hip spot.
The cutting edge in hipness is an address on a barge floating down the Gowanus Canal.
That, or Heath Ledger's closet.
Flotsam is the new black!

This is Crush
the woman who opened the store originally opened it years ago on Smith Street and it was wildly popular. So popular that she moved it to Manhattan near Bloomies and it tanked. Now she's back in Bklyn and i guess it's not the same.
I don't know why she's closing it but that's the story.
The "Crush" saga sounds a lot like the store "Butter". Made a killing renting in Boerum Hill in the low to mid teens, couldn't make it as a retailer paying 4 times that, back in BH for $29. So these geniuses are either paying half their old rent or twice their old old rent, depending on how you want to spin it.
Think either lost just a little bit of the revenue stream moving twice in 2 years?
What's doing with the former Smitty's on Smith Street, that store has been vacant for quite sometime.
