I drove past the corner of Flatbush and Avenue H on my way to perhaps the worst run Post Office in Brooklyn on Nostrand Avenue b/w Aves I & J and already the scene was chaotic. Double parked cars picking up frantic shoppers with bags and boxes up to their eyes on the “pre-opening” of Targé Flatbush. Already the landscape of this corner has been drastically altered. On local Targets that have missed the mark, the Spring Creek Target never impressed me besides being horribly staffed with unmotivated and mediocre salespeople. Let’s just hope practice makes perfect and Targé Flatbush hits a bullseye.
