Reader Sasha writes in to report that Alex's Shoe Repair on 44th and Vanderbilt, across from Grand Central, is closing.
Sasha says: "They've been there for ages, and do great work but just lost their lease. He's closing down and not relocating. I was in there for a shine earlier and Alex is bereft, as were many of the customers coming in--lots of head shaking and sad words. Pretty much all the midtown shoe repair places are disappearing, it's a real shame."
The sign in the window says May 27 will be their last.
Wonder what they going to do with all those shoes for people that don't know/can't make on May 27th also a damn shame as I have two shoes that need repairing.
