Duane Reade, fully visible again on Avenue B

After what seems like years, workers have finally removed the sidewalk bridge from outside the Duane Reade on Avenue B and Second Street... crews had been working on the apartment complex here called The Villager. (Onetime home The Gas Station, aka Art Gallery Space 2B!) 

Thanks to Stacie Joy for the pic!

    I most certainly remember the Gas Station.
    I had many a beer and good conversations there.
    Save the Robots was just down the block.
    Interesting times back then.

    That corner was heroin central as well.
