Dee and Dee is Moving on Out

For how much can I blame allergy symptoms? A neighbor mentioned that Dee and Dee was closing up shot at the 5th Avenue and 50th location due to a (possibly) lost lease. I thought that I hadn't noticed this the last time I was on 5th, but when I strolled by today, I realized that I had noticed it, but it hadn't registered in my pollen soaked head. Oh well.

At least some of the more official looking signs are new since I last walked by. Selling to the Bare Walls certainly sounds ominous. Lucky for bargain hunters, you can just continue on the B63 going north or south and you'll find a Dee and Dee.

My neighbor also wondered what the heck is going to go into this huge space. A whole lot of nothing for a while if the corner of 5th and 45th has anything to say about it. That was empty for a long, long time. Am I the only one who did not know you could get Junior Mints at Dee and Dee? Pop a box into the freezer and you're set for summer.

When One Store Closes...

With the closure of one of the gift/music/electronics shops on 5th Avenue (this one on the corner of 45th Street), another one will be opening just across 45th Street! The large commercial space that used to house Pollo Campero will be split between the new and in full swing Amalgamated Bank and the yet-to-open Sunset Electronics Appliances Inc. Don't confuse it with 49th Street Electronics and Appliances, also on 5th Avenue.


The awning states there will be car audio (much used in Sunset), LCD TVs, and all the top name brands. I wish them well, but the amount of store fronts closing or that have been trying to get rented out seems to be rising. The new Lechonera seems to be holding its own, so maybe they'll do well.
