Did this come up on the planning board? I don't understand how these stores survive so close to each other. Oh wait, maybe there is a price war on drugs and its a shorter span for the drug runners to go back and forth.

Another "CORNER STORE"???

Please people.. this is a food service establishment and those guys worked real hard to set that up.

What's the big deal? i gues you enjoy seeing all the empty store-fronts resemblant of our depressed economy...

I see that two block stretch of storefronts is a GHOST TOWN!!

What's next gun store? Got plenty of liquor to go with it..why not just make these welfare bastards walk farther..Such establishments give these people the royal treatment.

i'm confused here...

this address goes back to the corner business, which is a food business..
if there's any gripe here maybe it would be that the food is "fast" food and the healthiness of it, but i don't think this is going to be a "ghetto" joint..

it was a pizzeria previously...

so, where does this ghetto grocery store stuff come from??? idk

freedom of enterprise

i should tell the owner about this so he can ease your minds.. this whole post seems silly.

stick to potholes and covered signs folks
most of all know what your talking about

I sort of agree with Mysticmandy. But the 'corner store' issue in Troy has become what more and more concerned Folks are jumping on as the not legit ones are, and there is no doubt, selling drugs in and outside of them, fencing goods, buying food stamp cards and other non-store type Neighborhood ruining actions occuring in and out of them. So.. the first thing most familar with these actions will say, "oh no! Not another" If anyone knows this new to be owner, go in and speak to him, introduce yourself and tell him of the area concerns and invite him to go to Jim Gordons next Neighborhood meeting at the Lans. Boys Club and introduce himself and what his intentions are and speak with the Folks who have concerns. If he has good intentions this no doubt will sooth their minds AND most likely bring him support and business for his store!

Mysticmandy,
One of your post asks why all the hub bub about corner stores. Look around, especially come to NC/Uptown, where there is a store on every corner sometimes two. They all sell the exact same items, at mostly the exact same prices. One starts to ask themselves, why? Only one that I can see is legit out of all of these stores. Now the same pattern is repeating itself in N. Lansingburgh, and to follow will be Barber shops and Urban clothing. If the same pattern falls true as in NC/Uptown these stores are fronts, every one of them. We have Barbers shops that have become hang outs from early morning till late into the night . Our corner stores have become home base for drug runners and passing drugs off to vehicles and OUR neighborhood children are their first recruits for this business. I base what I have said in this conversation on FACT, and I see the same coming your way. No one in this town will ever push away legitimate business and would welcome with open arms anything other than these types of stores. Maybe, just maybe this one store is different, go and visit. Is there any fresh fruits and veggies? Or is the first thing you see are the crack pipes, oops I mean tobacco pipes. Is there advertising for beer and cigarettes at the level a child can easily see. Can you buy loosies? Do they give you a receipt even on small purchases????? If the later is true, watch out how close another store will open up, and watch what happens to the neighborhood.

Oh, Mysticmandy,

I forgot to mention the trash that litters these stores from corner to corner and is another issue that plagues the NC/Uptown area. I am sure it is quite noticeable when you drive thru.

The last corner store near JJ's auto closed down after a shootout in broad daylight

i was just trying to clarify between a "corner store" and a "pizzeria"/food service establishment...

i believe the corner storefront at issue is set up for a pizzeria/food place.

* not at all in a fog about the issue of the encroaching ghetto/gang mentality that does(iagree) spread like cancer through our cities nationwide :(

still - freedom of enterprise ADD no loitering signs

my best to all = good luck

must add, that i am not oblivious to that illegal behavior
i'm from newburgh,ny - trust i've seen it and i see where your concern comes from
LOL wow

whats NC/uptown mean?

NC/Uptown means North Central in the Uptown Troy area..

you all no alot about losey's and drugs out the store never seen nothing lived here my hole life you must be in the mix if you no so much !!!!!! i can agree on the garabage but thats it .....

Hello Bob,,,you may need glasses.

This might be old news, (I hope I spell this right), Delectabulls, is going to be another corner store?????A I LOVE NY corner store to boot. Did this come before the planning board yet?

Yer not kidding.I was getting my hair cut at Frank's on second ave and a black guy comes in and wants Frank to change a Hundred. Frank said no way take it next door to the store. The black guy said ( I be not. U giv me cut. chan m blin blin) Not sure what he said. Frank said I don't cut black hair. Go some where eles. Just before the guy leaves he looks around and sees Frank's mail sitting there. It was no suprise when he took it and ran down the street. I bet his father if he knows who he is tought him that one.

good grief = rofflmao wow
