[kj] OT: CBGB to re-open in NYC -- as high-end fashion boutique

[Alex Smith]

Yeah, there's a truly tragic CB's gift shop on St.Mark's (right where the DOM used to be), which is simply apalling. Adding insult to injury, I gather that the space which formerly housed CB's gallery 313 is going to be a CHASE bank. HOW MANY FUCKING BANKS DO WE NEED IN MANHATTAN??

New York is dead.

Alex in NYC

>Technically there is already a CBGB's store in the St Marks area (which has been homogonized with yuppiness).  I wonder if they'll close that one down.  I even speculate that the business affairs of Hilly are a mess.  Sounds like he was not very good at keeping his business affairs in order.
