Workers quickly gutted the former St. Mark's Bookshop space



Workers spent the weekend (Sunday too!) gutting the shop's home of 22 years at 31 Third Ave. and Stuyvesant Street ...



St. Mark's Bookshop closed on June 29 ahead of a move to a new, smaller storefront at 136 E. Third St. just west of Avenue A. No official word just yet when the shop can open here. Some time this week, most likely.

St. Mark's Bookstore first opened on St. Mark's Place in 1977 ... they had locations at No. 12 and across the street at No. 13.

As for the future of 31 Third Ave., Jeremiah Moss writes: "What will greet me next in this space? A brainless bank, a soulless Starbucks, a fucking frozen yogurt emporium?"

    Apparently there's some urgency to get the "Space For Rent" sign started on its multi-year run.

    It's the other way around. They were at 13 St. Mark’s Place for 10 years, THEN moved to 12 St. Mark’s. From 12 Saint Marks Place they moved to 3rd Ave. in 1994.

    I don't think it has been at that location 22 years - that building has not been there that long... has it?!
