The plate-glass window is filled with copies of a heartfelt goodbye sign: "Thank you for over 12 years of kindness, friendship and support."
In 2005, Crumpler moved in to this little corner, where Horatio meets West 4th, along with Pasita Wine Bar in 2006 and then an upscale boutique. Then Nick's Hairstylists became a Freeman's. Now all that's left is Miles Tinsmith and Mrs. R. Reese Spiritual Healer & Psychic--and that building has the wan pallor of doom all over it.
It's astounding how this little corner of the city has been so quickly disemboweled. It's almost like voodoo magic.
Horatio, we hardly know you.

Looks like everyone's having tough times these days:(
Action Care Pharmacy may have combined with CVS/Pharma Care on 2nd Avenue between St. Mark's and 9th Street. Not sure.
I once lived about a block from this triangle. What's going to be here now? Hotel? Bank? Something to service the upscale residents of One Jackson?
a boutique that sells doggie couture--sweaters, jackets, etc.--would be appropriate i think.
To be a bit of a devil's advocate: The boutique on the block, if I remember correctly, is Darling, a relatively low priced (for what it is) and bargain oriented women's clothing store that doesn't project any kind of aloof attitude, and is very much a model small business. On the other hand, I never perceived any psychic businesses as anything but completely silly.
