It is really too bad what happened to the people who were pushed out of 111 First St. That building should definitely still be there!

Having said that, I'd like to know what is so horrible about getting discounts at this particular place next to BJ's. They want to help people buy space in a nice building with awesome hotel-like amenities which also wants to accomodate artists? WOW.. sounds GREAT... sign me up!!

I can't believe how spoiled some people are... there are way too many complainers on this board!!! Either you're an artist and your complaining about a possible opportunity that you're afraid to try and reach for, OR you're a hater because you aren't creative or imaginative enough to qualify for it.

Boo hoo!

The word "Hipster" doesn't define, in the slightest, the almost hip-"ish" yuppies who are moving into JC. If you really want to know what a hipster is, go to WILLIAMSBURG, BROOKLYN. Find a more applicable word if you need to categorize the people moving into JC, but trust me... HIPSTERS CANNOT AFFORD TO LIVE IN JC!

Also.. why is that all of the people who post on this thread sound like Fashion/Style Police?

I requested on the Whole Foods site last year that they open a location here... since everyone on this list is at least interested in the idea I suggest you do the same!
