nah, you have to be mad that locals are getting more options to do their shopping at.

if you don’t let everybody know that you hate brands, how will anybody figure out you’re a real new yorker??

Target doesn't increase people's options. It destroys local businesses and measurably reduces quality of life in multiple ways, just like wal mart and all these other crappy stores. A local businesses opening a location there would have been dramatically better for the community.

Yeah, but literally across the street from this location is a hardware store, a drug store, and a grocery store. All of them independent or small chains. This is swapping out a library for a retail chain that might swamp all of that stuff out.

Just needs a CVS. Maybe a 5 Guys too. And if we're lucky, maybe an Applebee's or a Chili's.
