Going to T&V before I went to a Rocky Horror performance at 8th st Playhouse, or heading East to West to check out friends at Flip after stopping off at T&V to say hi to Kenny K, Jenn and so many more. Kim's Video was there the.75 pizza place and Dojo cheap eats there was an Italian restaurant in what became Ian's across the street that was amazing and Aztec was on E 9th. Times changed Coney came and so much fun always issues with Bowl and Board for sitting outside after a show. Gap went up at the end of the block Aztec closed Downtown Beirut went to open elsewhere as DB2. Cat club changed it's name Canal jeans moved from Canal st to Broadway. Unique became less unique and life continues. Great memories but truthfully going on St. Mark's is no longer a treat hipsterville over priced everything trying to hold on to the lure of the past as it become anystreet USA common place occurence in NYC. There is no longer a cube to meet by and spin when stupidly drunk and all the things that brought people there once they live there it becomes a complaint, so life goes on and T&V moves so here's to new memoriesMushyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01608904210537551286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-72117498605233398512016-02-21T12:38:11.162-05:002016-02-21T12:38:11.162-05:00Trash and Vaudeville was the first clothes store...Trash and Vaudeville was the first clothes store I went o when I first came to New York with Ian Dury in 1978 (or was it 77) I could not believe my eyes, as they carried a lot of vintage back then and had an amazing selection. No credit cards back then I spent all my cash on the first visit. When I returned with The Clash we were all regular customers.

Sorry Sally, no more trashy clothes, no more $80.00/mo. apartment. EV is being homogenized to resemble a midwest mall. Funny, they don't protect the the kids with this social upheaval, only the developers pockets and the politician's BS. Curbing expression and free thinking is how you arrive at fascism. Addressing it at the seed corn, around schools and universities is their final solution. Good luck with your new store.

Fewer and fewer people want to dress like Bon Jovi, Rancid or the Misfits did in their heyday. Styles move on. It's just the nature of these things and always will be. Time doesn't stand still.
