Cadet is/was a locally-owned and operated business - the kind of business everyone has been griping about leaving the East Village in droves! While pricey, they made everything locally (from what I was told). So alas, there goes more tailoring/manufacturing jobs (albeit on a very small scale). There goodbye sign is tacky, but whatever. That stretch of 9th is/was one of the LAST bastions of small, independently-owned businesses once thriving side by side, in the E.V., if not Manhattan.chiclyredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02664668661481108124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-74317601604695305912017-03-29T09:29:06.738-04:002017-03-29T09:29:06.738-04:00The only ones I see wearing these types of clothes...The only ones I see wearing these types of clothes are the crusties.

A simple tee shirt ranged from $60 and above. I happened to walk in there last week and spoke to a salesman. He said that with the hike in rent and the lack of sales, it wasn't beneficial to remain open. They will continue to sell their items online though. <br /><br />I don't think the outdoor sign was meant to antagonize others, but it is a little tasteless and crude. Oh well. This is just another signification that all good things end.

The village's male residents seem to prefer an untucked dress shirt, worn with a pair of ironed jeans, as the uniform for their weekend mayhem. I often wonder how Trash and Vaudeville, of which I am a fan, survives. Especially now that Hot Topic has co-opted that look and sells it at shopping malls around the country. People don't come to the village to be "outsiders" anymore and that reflects in their dress. The only businesses that seem to be opening are restaurants and bars. And even those come and go within a few years. We've probably seen the last of "Angelica's Kitchen" type places that lasted for decades. As for fashion, again, the days of "experimenting" are over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-7101767690146254792017-03-27T10:15:24.788-04:002017-03-27T10:15:24.788-04:00Are they giving the finger to the LES?Are they giving the finger to the LES?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
