Meanwhile, seems like a good time to take a quick inventory of Extra Place...
Starting in 1978 (photo via Forgotten New York)...
OK, anyway, as it was first reported back in the spring of 2008, the Avalon Bowery team aspired to turn the cul-de-sac into "a slice of the Left Bank, a pedestrian mall lined with interesting boutiques and cafés."
With the new furniture shop, there are now three storefronts in business... Bespoke Chocolates...
...and Montana Knox ...
Looks as there are 4-5 retail spaces available...
...it feels a little lonely back here...
...not quite yet what the Avalon Bowery folks envisioned with their rendering a few years back...

Avalon Bowery looks so suburban New South to me that I refer to it as Atlanta-on-the-Bowery.
Ha! Good one, Teri — I have not heard that one...
