We don't know why the market closed ... perhaps the competition from the new salad tossers at East Village Finest Deli across the street... Anyway, some longtime residents on Avenue B recall the 1980s when there were other items for sale and what not in the back room here...

I lived on 3rd b/t B&C in the early 1980s. I was a young punk rock girl and here is what I remember:
There was tons of herion.
People stood on the corner offering "works."
I saw a real gun (not on a policeman's holster) for the first time.
All summer Sukiyaki Love blared from giant speakers that people put by their windows so they could sit outside and have music.
There was a lone post office on the street surrounded by bombed out buildings.
All the Puerto Rican drug dealers used to yell out "Hey Punk Rock" when I walked by in my platinum crewcut.
It was a fantastic place to be.
