Yeti, the maker of high end coolers, food storage and travel mugs and tumblers, opened up recently near the corners, across from the Damen L stop. For people unfamiliar, the store takes the place of the beloved Double Door bar and venue. Many a band up and coming and a name or two you might have heard of have played here. While locals have mourned the closure (the Double Door had a long running dispute with their landlord) I don’t have a particular problem with Yeti…other than the fact I can’t see myself spending $350+ on a decent sized Yeti cooler, others in the hood I’m sure will. Bottom line, it’s the sign of the times and the neighborhood moves on
