Just to bring you up to speed on what I had heard about these spaces:
- The former Duane Reade/Buffalo Wild Wings structure is going to become a Whole Foods. I heard this several months ago and those who said it sounded pretty sure of themselves. Since then.... nada but a For Rent sign on the windows. Sad, and still waiting for confirmation.
If you take a look at the map of Whole Foods in the New York City area there is a gigantic white space between Long Island and Manhattan, with Forest Hills smack dab in the middle. We're an obvious choice. And this structure is even more so, smack dab as it sits in the middle of Forest Hills and just steps away from the subway station.
- Right across the street, where the Forest Hills mini-mall used to be housing Tasti D-Lite (remember those days?), a teeny tiny barbershop, etc., a massive construction project is underway. The only thing I've heard about this one is that it possibly may become a variety of small eateries.
Of course, if anyone has any information on either of these projects, please email us at edgeofthecity@gmail.com.
