The city is becoming a boring place to live!. What do we have left ? Boring street fairs selling junk and greasy food ? Thank you Antiques Garage and vendors for your service and sacrifice in making NYC a great place to live. You will truly be missed. Mayor Deblasio: Stop the culture destruction of NYC.

I graduated to the Antiques Garage later and even fought Vera Wang over a vintage rhinestone necklace (no blows, just dueling checks. I guess I wanted it more than she did). Reading this blog always makes me feel like quoting Rutger Hauer in Blade Runner, "All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain."

With it goes old-school NY parking--they make deals and don't nickel and dime you. Now I'm left going to the corporate sharks and their punch cards.

Why is it that people want to come to New York anymore, for boutique hotels and long lines for specialty food? That's about the size of it, isn't it. These flea markets are some of the last bastions of truth in this town. I knew this was on the table for a while, but with the closing so soon and in the middle of the summer. <br /><br />Every year there are a few more reasons to NOT live in New York. It's just a shell now. Pointless. <br /><br />The former Chelsea flea market and the Avenue A/Mary Help of Christians flea markets (both closed for luxury 'redevelopment' by the way) have found new homes, hopefully the same will happen for the garage. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-72843842495757443612014-06-16T08:22:09.342-04:002014-06-16T08:22:09.342-04:00Thanks Jeremiah!
