2010-2011 Myrtle Shopping Guides Released

Have you picked up your new Myrtle Avenue 2010-2011 shopping guide yet? They can be found in stores along Myrtle Avenue, so please stop in and get yours today.

The 7-panel guide features listings of over 150 small mom and pop businesses located along Myrtle Avenue, along with their addresses and cross streets, phone numbers, websites.

As in previous years, the cover features merchant photos from the ‘Home Grown & Locally Owned’ marketing campaign. This cover pays homage to the small, mom-n-pop businesses that line Myrtle Avenue’s commercial corridor, while encouraging local residents to get to know their neighborhood entrepeneurs and to shop close to home in Fort Greene and Clinton Hill, Brooklyn.

The listed businesses represent the rich and wide diversity of enterprises along the Avenue.

The guide also includes a 4-paneled map, complete with arrows to local subway and bus lines and a list of local jaunts and destinations: the sprawling Pratt Institute campus and 25-acre sculpture park; celebrated poet Walt Whitman’s former home; as well as Fort Greene Park and the Prison Ship Martyrs Monument. Also included is Move About myrtle, Myrtle’s family-friendly, action-packed Sundays in September when 5 blocks along the Avenue are closed to vehicular traffic and the streets are used for dancing, live performances, arts programming and other activities.

The shopping guides are an excellent resource for local shopping.
