Comings and goings on this block of 1st Avenue (and wither Tropic Berry)

Let's take a look at a few storefronts over on First Avenue between Second Street and Third Street — all part of 45 First Ave.

The gate has been down at Tropic Berry, the cafe serving smoothies, acai bowls and coffee, for the past few weeks (H/T Nat!).
There's no word of a closure, temporary or otherwise, on the cafe's website or social media. Google still lists them as open during hours in which the gate remains down. 

However, there was a "short-notice" online auction here last month, where much of the shop's appliances and supplies were sold. 

A few storefronts away, New Mott Cleaners is now open (first mentioned here) ...
And finally, there's paper on the windows of that long-closed convenience store.

There were various legal notices on the front door last fall... and someone apparently did a number on the interior, which was visible from the sidewalk for several months... (photos by Steven)...
