To do so will given them the idea that you (and the other supporters of Jim's) don't shop there anyway. This is what I sent:<br /><br />Your Duane Reade store at 41 East 58th Street is planning to take over the space next door, currently occupied by Jim's Shoe Repair. Jim's has been on this block since 1932 and will be evicted If you execute this plan. Surely Duane Reade can be a good neighbor, not only to the smaller businesses in the same building, but also to Jim's customers, who are, after all, your customers as well.Mitchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-24889185551249837162014-03-27T18:13:21.830-04:002014-03-27T18:13:21.830-04:00Mark Green is the brother of Steve Green of SL Gre...Mark Green is the brother of Steve Green of SL Green. Had Mark been elected mayor, I wonder what his reaction would be. Jimmy's is the best. They were a lifesaver for me for the several decades I lived in NYC.

Please help us save Jim's Shoe Repair. Leave behind both a legacy of financial prowess and as a champion of Manhattan's small businesses. Help us preserve the value such enterprises bring to the community and the life of our great city. You may be rewarded in ways you could never imagine.<br /><br />Warmly,<br /><br />EJAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16427166446104069115noreply@blogger.com
