I'm trying to think up different uses. There are also some great visualization sights (graphs, charts, etc) that I'm hoping to make use of. Love me a map too! I’m trying to think up different uses.

Lovin the blog so far! I added you to my blogroll :) Check out my Boerum Hill blog: http://boerumhillblog.wordpress.com/ I'd be honored if you added me. Also, have you considered buying just sunsetpark.com and rerouting traffic there? My friend is showing me how to do it shortly. I'm obsessed with maps and loving this one. . .keep it up! Hey Lisa!

Others feel that Verizon and Duane Reade would not have come to the neighborhood five or ten years ago, and it's a sign larger companies are willing to invest in Sunset Park. Sounds like Parker and Magna cultivated a good relationship with you. I've added a link to their directory listing in case others are interested.

They are very friendly, and have gone out of their way to help me by advancing me a few pills when I went away this summer for more than a month and would have run out of my medication. I doubt that Duane Reade or Rite Aid would have done that. I'm not sure how another drugstore (or bank) indicates that Sunset Park is really coming along. We're a little overloaded with both. If we're getting chains, how about a Connecticut Muffin? I get my prescriptions at Parker and Megna, on the corner of 52nd and 5th.

They started opening on Sundays, which makes it a lot easier to pick up. They know me by name, which is always nice as well. For a specific example: Duane Reade has insane prices for diapers. More than Key Food, BabiesRUs, or anywhere else I've seen. I was going to use the $5 coupon they've been handing out to buy some, but it was still more than anywhere else. I ended up buying a gallon of milk; that was cheaper than anything else. I'll only be going there when everything else is closed and I'm desperate. I like my corner pharmacy for prescriptions.
