No smart-axx lawyer remarks please! As someone noted, the building in which Stan's store has been since he opened in New York is owned by Jay and Rose Deutsch who also own the Leica Gallery. Arthur, I lived for almost 25 years on Bleecker Street a block west of that building and know the area intimately. The building is in Noho, north of Houston Street, not south. I was there two weeks ago. While many parts of downtown New York look like ghost towns by comparison to a year ago, if today you walk Broadway north from Houston Street to 14th, I don't think you will see a single empty storefront. It is utterly bustling with people and commerce. I am very reliably informed that Jay and Rose asked for a market increase in rent, Stan declined and the space was rented to another tenant at that rent.
