On Avenue A, Piggies in, Spin Hair Salon out


[From Sunday, in case you were wondering about the lack of snow]

As you probably know, Brooklyn Piggies, the hand-rolled pigs-in-a-blanket shop, opened last Thursday at 195 Avenue A. At the same time, though, Spin Hair Salon has left the space next door…




No word just yet if stylist Eddie J. Williams has moved to a new location or closed. (There aren't any signs up indicating either scenario.) He moved here from Stanton Street last January.

Previously, both storefronts housed Furry Land Pet Supply, which closed in January 2012…

Proof that small businesses drive out other small businesses.

Did I miss it but was there ever a mention of the now closed frozen dairy place on the block?

I posted about it back on Nov. 25.

Every time I read "handrolled pigs in a blanket" it triggers my gag reflex.

Furry Land was great... I miss it.

Yes, loved his rescue store cats and the cage of parakeets he had outside on nice sunny days. He was a very nice guy.

Wasn't a fan of the pet store and walked by the salon all the time but it wasn't an inviting space and they didn't do any marketing that I ever saw to draw in customers so it isn't a surprise they didn't make it.
