  • A breath of fresh air!!!

    1) Special thanks to Sholom B Goldstein for making this take place.

    2) What do you think can be done to make kingston ave look nicer? Maybe a code of rules that property owners have to keep by?

    maybe someone should put out a monthly flyer with honest merchant ratings from all over crown heights maybe it will give a little push to the owners that are waiting for us to enter – i am no pessamistic person, but i was upset shopping in crown height while visitng, with the customer service in full need of improvement (and that goes to many stores like …..). it hurts me to say this but i wish i could shop in crown heights without the feeling of ‘get out of my store, we don’t have it’. PLEASE FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR CUSTOMERS, AND THE FLOW OF PEOPLE IN THE STORES OF CROWN HEIGHTS! you can learn some *decent* service from ………

  • mother annoyed at kingston

    i am very displeased with my shopping experience today on kingston. there is nobody to help you when u enter stores. people are nice once they turn to help you but you have to wait forever. the prices are ridiculous. either you can buy garbage quality for prices that are high but still managable, or you can buy some half normal stuff for crazy prices. 80 dollars for a tiny infant outfit for yom tov. an infant that may wear it maybe 3 times!!!! i am so discouraged. im glad i have the ability to go to malls and go to bloomingdales, gap, gymboree and other such stores in hope to find great quality clothes for great prices. its a shame because crown heights can hold the market for special items that are hard to find such as clothes for yom tov, skirts for women, etc.yet they blew it for me with their skyrocket prices, quality and service. i know they have to make money but why can’t they find decent merchandise for normal prices. i was in a woman’s clothing store a few years ago and saw a sweater i have from macys(same company) i figured i would buy it in a different color. they were charging 75 dollars for it. i bought the same exact sweater for 30 a few weeks before. im not sure how average people afford to shop here. they HAVE to be in credit card debt between crazy rent or mortgages, car leases or buys, and tuition. don’t forget about food too. and just for clothes i am NOT going into debt. i just dont know how people live without being in debt or doing some risky business. i hope the new stores that open will not follow in these distgusting methods where merchandise is old, unfashionable, sometimes returned and charge triple the price than anywhere else.
