Environmental concerns were not discussed and always slighted (none of the board members live in the neighborhood). Next week Amanda Burdon comes to PS 32 at 6:30 Monday (hoyt & union streets) to discuss "the future of the Gowanus" and on Wednesday it's the last chance for the public to speak up at the ULURP process regarding this very very wrong project.<BR/><BR/>Our only hope is that big Daddy Toll decides that since his profits have dropped over 40 percent this week that it's not such a good idea.Lisannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03249500003559750141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-84334232557538766362008-11-14T01:07:00.000-05:002008-11-14T01:07:00.000-05:00I go to Jams a lot, particularly to buy blank card...I go to Jams a lot, particularly to buy blank cards with embossed borders to make my own Christmas cards/sympathy cards/get well cards, etc., using my own photographs.Barbara L.

I go there all the time, but I spend so little (I bought a gift bag last week, cost: $2.16). It's never crowded. And hasn't technology destroyed most of the consumer base for envelopes? <BR/><BR/>I don't want to see it go but frankly I am amazed it is there in the first place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-65026807193738185532008-11-13T14:32:00.000-05:002008-11-13T14:32:00.000-05:00The Robin Raj building did indeed have 2 additiona...The Robin Raj building did indeed have 2 additional floors, I believe, until they were razed maybe 15 years or so ago. A popular night club, Carmelita's, was on the 2nd floor. <BR/><BR/>The little spot adjacent to JAM's had been a pet store and before that a Porn Theatre.
