In Cobble Hill, community members are lobbying to stop J. Crew from taking over a corner space at Pacific and Court streets, where a gourmet grocery store now stands. Pacific Green's owner is suing his landlord for breaking the lease, which is supposed to run through 2015; meanwhile, resident Carl Foner has collected 4,000 signatures on a Change.org petition. It's all because people "are concerned about big corporations taking over the dwindling mom-and-pop shops in their neighborhood, which will ultimately cause it to loose its appeal."
