An eviction notice has been affixed to the gate at 166 Avenue B between 10th Street and 11th Street, the latest development at a storefront that has housed a succession of (brightly lit) unlicensed smoke shops in recent years.
As we've documented, various iterations of smoke shops have cycled through the address, with enforcement actions and closures often followed by another operator appearing shortly thereafter.
So while the eviction notice suggests the current chapter has come to an end, experience has taught us not to declare victory too soon.
Still, it may be the strongest sign yet that the smoke-shop hydra at 166 Avenue B has finally run out of heads.
