Derek Berg was present yesterday morning for the ceremonial swapping of the awning on the southwest corner of First Avenue and Seventh Street ... where the 7th Street Village Farm became...
... an omnipresent E Smoke & Convenience shop, selling things like (just one of everything?) Beverage, Cigar and Snack, per the awning. (Does the AP Stylebook say to use e-smoke and not e smoke?)
The corner space had been for rent... and there was even an awning switcheroo back in August 2017.
Anyway, as noted before, this space has been some kind of market/deli for years now...
