Day 114… The plywood is mostly down along 5th Avenue now. A week or two ago, almost every storefront along its entire midtown length was completely covered up. The stores, themselves, in that area, are mostly still closed because there are still no tourists around to shop in them. It may just be where I was riding the other day, but it seems to me that the majority of the stores that remain boarded up are foreign-owned. Perhaps they are watching the news and cannot imagine reopening in the middle of a raging pandemic that appears to be totally out of control. The Barnes and Noble store at 46th Street, was almost the only place actually open for business on Wednesday.
the times they are
a changin’...
