store closings/openings

Spotless Cleaners on 7th Av between 9th and 10th Street is closed.

The MIM newstand on 7th off 9th Street Avenue near Bank of American has been renovated, seems to have a new owner. He has greatly increased the amount of cold cases with a big emphasis on imported beer. You can still get your lotto tickets etc, but the beverege selection seems to be way above the average corner store.

Opposum Q told me about this one: Bob and Judy's antiques/vintage shop on 5th ave near Union is closing. They have a 20% off sale going on.

Also that burger place "chez burger" that was supposed to open in the fro-yo spot, on 5th ave by the V-Spot, didn't. It's for rent again.

WHAT??? I love that place! One of the most nicely curated vintage/antique shops around. And Bob and Judi are so nice. Damn. How long have they been there?

There's also a "We Buy Gold" counter in the barber shop that opened recently on 5th Ave between St Mark's Place and Warren (West side of avenue). No customers for either.
