Otherwise you’d know that it always seems to be good business for landlords to keep EV storefronts vacant. Otherwise spots like the former Benny’s wouldn’t be vacant for 7 years.

There is business to be had in EV, but for whatever reason, Cornerstone doesn't draw crowds (despite being pretty great).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-51387406285310370992021-12-28T20:39:28.825-05:002021-12-28T20:39:28.825-05:00@neighbor it's because there's no incentiv...@neighbor it's because there's no incentive for landlords to rent for lower. they're all hoping for chases or walgreens and write off losses to lower their tax burdens, so they come out ahead either way. there should be a tax on landlords who leave spaces vacant for years, like the former citibank location was on ave a and 4th before the milkmoney place opened up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-14526298294585969882021-12-28T17:55:19.300-05:002021-12-28T17:55:19.300-05:00Billy Joel is not good.

I still miss Goodstuff Diner on W. 14th St. and today at least half a dozen Starbucks stores downtown (plus every Apple Store) are closed due to Covid, including both of the Starbucks in Peter Cooper/ StuyTown. But noisy, overcrowded places like Poco are here to stay.

If he signed a 10-12 year lease during the financial crisis, and the 10 year lease was up - it's not out of the question that the rent was tripled for that location, right?JMScheinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524330422466837393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-4610128178501751522021-12-27T07:17:55.986-05:002021-12-27T07:17:55.986-05:00sorry to see you close
