Who knew what and when? Psychic closed for remodeling on Avenue A



Yesterday afternoon, EVG reader Ruth noted that workers removed the awning from the psychic's storefront at 199 Avenue A near East 12th Street…



Likely a pretty pricy chunk of real estate for $5 tarot card readings… However! The psychics figured that people would question if this space would become home to another specialty food shop or something… so there is a sign… "Psychic is remodeling."

@ Goggla

I think Zoltar was unplugged when I passed by this morning!

I'm sure Zoltar is just recovering from losing that one hour of sleep last weekend.

I'd always assumed they were fronts for either money laundering or sex workers, but looks like they're mostly in the age-old business of parting fools from their money.
