Derek Berg was present yesterday morning for the ceremonial swapping of the awning on the southwest corner of First Avenue and Seventh Street ... where the 7th Street Village Farm became...
... an omnipresent E Smoke & Convenience shop, selling things like (just one of everything?) Beverage, Cigar and Snack, per the awning. (Does the AP Stylebook say to use e-smoke and not e smoke?)
The corner space had been for rent... and there was even an awning switcheroo back in August 2017.
Anyway, as noted before, this space has been some kind of market/deli for years now...

ReplyDeleteFRUIT EXCHANGE! "i'll swap you these grapes for that melon!"
ReplyDeleteStrunk and White prefer the hyphen.
ReplyDeleteVaping is another tragedy promoted with shining advertisements "look all the cool kids are doing it" from big tobacco. Stay away, you will get hook due the high levels of nicotine and will be throwing good money at a bad habit.
ReplyDeleteAnother Vape Shop. Just what we need.
ReplyDeleteAmazing that kids can't figure out how vaping is just "cool" smoking - but equally addictive, and DAMN EXPENSIVE!
ReplyDeleteFor all the millennials who say they can't pay their student loans, or have to share an apartment, or can't save to buy a place, I'd say if you vape, you are literally burning up your finances.
I would have gone with a Gadzooks there Grieve, but that's just me.

ReplyDeleteThat has to be one of the most obnoxious type styles and signage I've ever scene.
ReplyDeleteI love the old photograph. I can only imagine what this neighborhood was like then.
ReplyDeleteDoes anybody remember... produce?
