In recent days I started taking photos of all the stores in the EV that had sale signs in the window. It just

Lhasa Boutique on Avenue B near Fourth Street is going.
This makes
22 empty storefronts now on Avenue B. (There were 23, but
Coyi Cafe opened a few weeks back.)
Meanwhile, on Ninth Street between Second Avenue and First Avenue...

Hey, be sure to make note that the last image (with the skull) of Enchanments, is NOT a closing. Echantments moved a block east on the South side of the same street between 1st and A.

I lived on Ave B between 11 and 12 from 1987-1989. It looked just like that back then...all boarded up and empty. Of course, then it was full of crack houses and nightly fires in those abandoned buildings. I was amazed when it began to become built up.
But then it quickly went from small stores to over priced lounges and the like. It was bound to fall again.
