Serenity Spa remains open on corner rumored for new development

Yesterday, we noted that the NW corner of First Avenue at Second Street is looking more and more like fodder for new development. (There is nothing about demolition or a new building in public records.)

New Double Dragon is expected to close in the weeks ahead at 37 First Ave., though staff hopes to return to business. 

Meanwhile, above the currently closed First Avenue Laundry Center, the lights still burn brightly at Serenity Spa... where EVG contributor Stacie Joy ventured up the stairs... 

The spa remains open for business... and the front-desk attendant was unaware of any pending closure or development on this corner...

An oasis of landlord problems for the Serenity Spa

Over at 33 First Ave. at Second Street ... the Marshal came calling back on Friday at the Serenity Spa...



... which occupies the second level of the corner building.

The legal document on the front door notes that the landlord is now in possession of the space...



Serenity took over for the Water Front Spa, which opened in 2007 and received positive notices for its budget services.
