Renovation gone bad? The Discovery Channel is doing casting calls in the Tri-State Area for a show they are calling “Construction Intervention”.
If you are a business owner who started a renovation, but never got it done or had some such other tragedy involving botched construction work, you might do well in contacting the casting department. If you don’t own a headache business under construction, but have seen a Southern Brooklyn storefront in need of desperate help, why not nominate one? While it may be too late to save the now-gone Joanne’s Discount Center (formerly located at 2209 Avenue X), there may still be time to save some of the other staples of our community. The offer for intervention is open to even businesses in need of a “pick-me-up”.
Check the About Us page on their website for more information. You may contact the show organizers by e-mail or call them at (212) 264-3600 x 417 or 421.
We’re curious though: even if you’re not a business owner, what storefronts and commercial buildings in Sheepshead Bay do you think need an intervention? If you don’t have time to make the call, why not just leave the name of the most needy businesses in the comments section, here. We’ll be more than happy to call casting for you.

Yeah, How about the MTA and every station from here to Prospect Park?
I haven’t been out towards Avenue X in the low 20s in a bit. What happened to Joanne’s? That was a remnant of a time that doesn’t exist anymore.
Joanne’s has closed and now the place is an exercise facility. Hopefully, the story is to follow.
Here’s a picture I took 2 years ago. I cleaned it a little today, my knowledge of post-editing was somewhat limited at that time.

Johanne’s closed a few months ago. It’s a shame because it really was a throwback to an earlier time. A store that had something for everyone.
The sign in my photo indicates that they were looking for a commercial tenant as early as two years ago. Which makes me believe that the building was owned by the store.
