the Q at Parkside: Rapid Realty Runs Across the Street

The Q at Parkside

(for those for whom the Parkside Q is their hometrain)

News and Nonsense from the Brooklyn neighborhood of Lefferts and environs, or more specifically a neighborhood once known as Melrose Park. Sometimes called Lefferts Gardens. Or Prospect-Lefferts Gardens. Or PLG. Or North Flatbush. Or Caledonia (west of Ocean). Or West Pigtown. Across From Park Slope. Under Crown Heights. Near Drummer's Grove. The Side of the Park With the McDonalds. Jackie Robinson Town. Home of Lefferts Manor. West Wingate. Near Kings County Hospital. Or if you're coming from the airport in taxi, maybe just Flatbush is best.

Rapid Realty Runs Across the Street

There's a new Marshal in town and he seems to have plenty of deputies. Did you know that City Marshals are not actually employees of the City? Seems more like Repo Man to me (see below).

So another business gets the "Seized" treatment, this time Rapid Realty busted for a "fictitious name." Really what this means is that the landlord felt he/she/they weren't getting the dough they deserved, or perhaps were deserted in the middle of the lease, and told the marshal to grab anything and everything of value as collateral. My hunch is that the fictitious name bit is a bit of malarkey to allow the Marshals to do their business.

To be clear: I don't know the backstory and I'm not assigning blame. The Q got in trouble for merely pointing out the shuttered doors in the past. This space is now available for rent.

Perhaps you should stop by Rapid Realty's other location on the Flabenue to inquire about renting it?

Classic scene from Repo Man. A story of guns, love, mutli-culturalism, the American Dream and get-rich-quick class mobility:
