We heard at the end of August that Williamsburg art center Monster Island was on the verge of shutting down?and that Whole Foods was considering the site. (The Monster Island building itself is scheduled for demolition next month.) But Brownstoner hears it's actually the site across Kent Avenue between Metropolitan and North 3rd that Whole Foods has its eye on. Which makes the gentrification irony here only slightly less extreme. ['Stoner; previously]
