For those of you in the NYC area familiar with Tamarkin Camera, they'll be moving in about two weeks to: Their rent's tripled and, as they don't expect they'll triple their sales accordingly, they have to move. I wonder how long before the Leica Gallery, which is on the same floor as Tamarkin, has to move. It was real convenient for them to be next to each other -- walk out of the Leica Gallery in an inspired state of mind and walk into Tamarkin to get some new piece of gear to help work off the inspiration! >>> Jay Deutch, who runs the Leica Gallery, owns the building...so I think they are safe. The rent "tripling" has something to do with the very low price that was extended to them when they moved in -and some personal differences subsequently. Don't cry too hard for them. ;-> Generally, rents are down about $7-12 per square foot in this area post 9/11. (too late for me though...I moved in Sept 5th...) From what I hear, soon after T moves out, Eli Kurland will be moving in to the same space on the 5th floor. ...of course a "real" Leica shop is two blocks south anyway...so Leica is alive and well in SoHo!<g> bests, Rich - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
