The ad for the Peter Jarema Funeral Home on the north-facing wall at 108 Avenue B and Seventh Street is dead.
Long live the ad for the Peter Jarema Funeral Home on the north-facing wall at 108 Avenue B and Seventh Street!
Yesterday morning, workers replaced the new ad (as of February) for the longtime East Village business with one for Coca-Cola and the Marvel Universe.
During exterior renovations last June (first reported here), workers sandblasted away the former ad for the funeral home that's on Seventh Street between Avenue A and First Avenue.
The decades-spanning ad touted "Air Conditioned Chapels," and there was a smaller sign for "Vazac Hall Catering" (and "Fine Food"), a nod to the business before the current and longstanding tenant Vazac's/the Horseshoe Bar/7B.
The mystery executive behind putting the Jarema banner back on the wall told the Post in February that the ad would come down this month... but may return during slower time periods.
Pretty gross that the building restoration was basically a stealth way to slap a billboard over Tompkins.
ReplyDeleteIt's a free country and all but we can still call this for what it is -- the work of shitty neighbors. Maybe it will go the way of that camo/ammo shit show on 9th Street. Best, JG

ReplyDeleteThe funeral home ad might be dead but if people keep drinking that sugar shit Peter's place will have more customers than it can handle.
