Rumors fly about MickyD’s on Court Street - people, pleez
Josh Guttman | September 10, 2007
The blogosphere is abuzz today with rumors that McDonald’s has leased the former Blockbuster space on Court Street. Both A Brooklyn Life and Curbed are reporting that McDonald’s is moving into the space. I call BS. Rumors have been flying about McDonald’s moving to the neighborhood for some time. If they do come, Smith Street or Atlantic Ave are more logical locations. The former Blockbuster space is neither a location I can imagine McDonald’s wanting (it’s a huge space with a full basement and only moderate foot traffic) nor a neighbor that Court Street residents are likely to welcome with open arms. Few chain retailers have penetrated Court Street yet, and I think it’s highly unlikely that even the most money-hungry property owner would allow such flagrant degradation of neighborhood charm.

This is only parenthetically related — but I was driving my a Mikey d’s with a low-lying marquee sign and noticed someone had swiped the “G” and pushed together the letters to that:
“Try our new Angus burger”
was changed to
“Try our new Anus burger”
It’s time to go down to those community board six meetings!
