Eva knows her customers, she knows our kids. When I bring in stuff for an appointment, I invariably end up staying just to catch up; she's smart, kind and it's always a pleasure to see her. <br /><br />Jane's Exchange embodies the true spirit of what a neighborhood store that serves the community should be. Although I had to move, ending up within blocks of another noted kids consignment shop, I still bring all my stuff to Jane's Exchange. It may be more of a hike, but unlike other kiddy "boutiques", it's devoid of the pretense and insane prices. <br /><br />What has happened in the Village is depressing. It's ironic that certain people think that the neighborhood has improved simply because the drug dealers have been pushed out. At least there used to be a sense of solidarity. Now it's just a greedy, capitalistic nightmare of entitlement.

I wish there was a more unified voice for those of us that make the East Village our home . This sweep of all the reasons we chose to make it the place we raise our families and new focus on serving people that live here for 1-4 years is despicable. <br />I love reading Eva's whole story, I have only known bits and pieces in the years I have shopped there. (starting on ave A , I think they were in the "frat" penthouse building) Eva and Gail are the kind of people that make our community so special.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-74687911199271074482015-09-23T21:11:03.088-04:002015-09-23T21:11:03.088-04:00I shopped at Jane's Exchange when it was on Av...I shopped at Jane's Exchange when it was on Avenue B and 7th and remember both Eva and Anna (have seen Cassia grow up to be a talented singer, too). I think we all had our girls around the same time and it was such a great gift to have a kids' thrift store just a few blocks away.<br /><br />I wish you the very best of luck, Eva, in maintaining your business here in the neighborhood!!VH McKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15758245677856344651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-61544650488858858032015-09-23T16:26:53.847-04:002015-09-23T16:26:53.847-04:00Gojira, Yes, please do!

The first time I ever breastfed in public was at Jane's Exchange on Avenue A! (that was almost 14 years ago.) I really felt sad when my kids outgrew the store -- I felt as though we all grew up there. <br /><br />FWIW, here's a piece I wrote about the shop back in 2012: http://www.tabletmag.com/jewish-life-and-religion/105410/childhood-memories-for-resale<br /><br />Eva and Gayle (and Kayla!) I hope that if you do have to close down you will find new and wonderful projects.

It would be nice to think that Eva has decided to close the business because it is time, not because the rent will skyrocket Jane's Exchange into oblivion. Just another small business that may be added to Jeremiah's Vanishing NY. --KaylaKaylahttps://www.facebook.com/kayla.rittnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-9251335088035633332015-09-23T10:26:00.216-04:002015-09-23T10:26:00.216-04:00The drug dealers actually did keep ther blocks saf...The drug dealers actually did keep ther blocks safer, but not out of the goodness of the hearts. They did it to prevent customers who had a wad of cash on them from getting ripped off. They did it to keep the cops off their blocks so they could keep doing business. They did it because it made good business sense. They had lookouts who kept watch over their blocks 24x7, so there was always someone watching in case something happened. Now all you've got is drunk bros, ex-pats and trust fund babies, and none of them is going to look out for your safety.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-3751168286675545542015-09-23T09:52:18.265-04:002015-09-23T09:52:18.265-04:00It's laughable that people think drug dealers ...It's laughable that people think drug dealers protected the neighborhood.
