Last Tuesday, the above plywood arrived on the corner of Avenue B and East Seventh Street ... outside Amaran, the home-goods store that is closing soon ...
Work permits pointed to something about: "ENCLOSE A SMALL PORTION OF THE EXTERIOR WALL."
By Thursday, there was a partial stop work order. "THE SIDEWALK SHED ALLOWS 19 INCHES OF PASSAGE. IT WRAPS AROUND THE BUILDING AND WAS TO ONLY BE ON 7 ST. ONE INCH SCREW ARE STICKING OUT OF THE PLYWOOD."
OK. On Friday, workers arrived to move the plywood off the sidewalk...
Now, perhaps, all is well.
As for Amaran, they have the misfortune of looking as if they're already closed. The store's last day isn't until Jan. 27, per the homemade signs on the plywood...

any hints as to what might be going into this space? it's pretty huge. i live around the corner, so i'm pretty curious.
also, slightly off topic: wasn't casimir rumoured to be sold and/or closing months back? any updates?
I will miss this shop. Any on-line contact available??I want everything in this store.
