NewRoc Now

Sad to see that the Speckled Door is closing its doors, but we just don’t have density to support all of the bars in the downtown area.   In a 5 block area there are over 10 bars including the Speckled Door (RIP), Spectators, The Spot and many more.  How many half-empty bars do we need?

The shop that I can’t quite understand is the dress shop, OQUENDO on S. Division.   A really nice designer dress shop with prices starting at about $2000.  I wish them well but no chance to have me as a customer, sorry, I’m broke.

Also proud to see a new Lingerie shop open on Main, a few doors south from the Speckled Door.  The guys in the shop have that confused look of shop owners who believed the hype and have that ‘what the f’ look on their faces waiting for customers.  I promise that you will fill all m lingerie needs guys!

If you can judge the health of a business by the amount of flyers it produces Habitat for Humanity is by far the most succssful enterprise in downtown New Rochelle.   They do great things it seems and they are really leading the way towards bringing vitality downtown.

and one other thing…..

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE pick up your dog poop from the street if you live in the Avalon.  It’s getting out of hand all of the land mines I have to navigate making my way home.
