Winter Friday Flashback: Last day for Love Saves the Day is Sunday

On Fridays this winter, and probably spring and summer ... we'll post one of the 16,000-plus EVG, uh, posts from yesteryear, like this one from Jan. 13, 2009 ...

-----

On Dec. 2, Jeremiah was first to report that Loves Saves the Day will shutter its iconic corner store on Seventh Street and Second Avenue. A sign on their storefront confirms the store's last day.


Meanwhile, what will become of the pay phones on the south side of the store? No way will Duane Reade keep them once they open their newest location here...(And yes -- I will burn in Hell for writing that...)

  4. Not the other anons.January 11, 2013 at 11:09 AM

    Two previous anons. are obviously very very new newbies who moved to EV after Love Saves The Day closed and the soul, character, and uniqueness of the neighborhood have been sucked out by the previous newbies. These are probably who celebrated the openings of 7-11 and IHOP in the neighborhood.

    Love Saves The Day is now in New Hope, PA and they still retain the quirkiness of the store. And speaking of odd, oddly enough, New Hope, PA ihas the feel of the EV of past than the EV of today.
