maybe I will head up later. Went by the Cheyenne yesterday, seems someone pilfered the entire chrome facade, all the stools are gone...what will be left for B-ham I dunno...
let us know what you find, ken. i just came back from checking out the cheyenne. you can hardly recognize the place.
Too late to get good photos of the P&G; the neon tubing is already down and only the metal casing for the letters remains. I live around the corner and used to stop there every friday on my way out of the subway...sad to see it move up the way to the old Evelyn lounge space.
soon it will Jeremiah's Vanished New York
I hate to see the PG go. What a loss.
This is traumatic, I don't feel like hanging out in Manhattan anymore, it's being butchered, there is chinatown left and that's almost going now. Manhattan below 96th is so, so gone.
Please someone explain what is so appealing about these chain stores?
This is Blade Runner, Soylent Green, Demolition Man! UGH
