We always thought that the vacant old newsstand just east of FDB/8th Avenue at 112th Street would just be phased out eventually but apparently it is available for anyone that wants to start up a business. Walking by the corner in recent weeks, one might notice that a lease sign has been placed up on the shabby shack that could need a little love on the exterior. What could possibly the monthly rent for one of these old kiosk? Click on image to enlarge.
I could joke that the way the economy is going I fully expect people to be living in it sooner rather than later.

I'm thrilled to see this and hope this wonderful little abandoned newstand does get up & running again, since it's on my street.
ReplyDeletePeanut/popcorn stand maybe?
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I suppose having a commercial tenant in there is better than leaving it vacant, but I wish they'd taken the time to rehabilitate it a bit more (or otherwise remove it entirely).
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know how these things are regulated? Is it considered part of the property to which it is attached, or a separate property?
Pommes frites!
ReplyDeleteSure it would be a death trap for the fry cook but I’d hike over for some fresh and tasty chips. W/ salt and vinegar. Or mayo!
Sanou you said it!!!
