B&N to Banana
The original Barnes & Noble flagship store on 5th Avenue closed this past January. It had been there since 1932.

32 years ago, I had my first job at 111 5th Avenue. How wonderful the neighborhood was back then with B&N and Shackmans and the Coffee Shop that actually was a coffee shop with the BEST rench fries. I had escaped suburbia. Now that neighborhood resembles the mall in the suburbs from which I escaped.
"The horror, the horror."
I happened to stumble onto the ghastly scene in January of this year - a most depressing interval. I did have my camera and captured some of the undoing. Unthinkable, really, and yet here we are.

The last book I purchased there was the Titanic tale, "A Night To Remember." How appropriate a title.
