There’s action in the vacant storefronts on Seventh Avenue between 3rd and 2nd Streets. Someone has rented the Mark Ravitz storefront, the space that housed Park Slope Books.
We used to think of that building as the house of the dripping cows. Now it’s the house of the dripping cyclops/octopus/suns.
For a month or so the neighborhood was treated to Mark Ravitz’s whimsical creations while he waited to fill the storefront.
I wonder what’s going in. I saw the sign company truck yesterday. The 2nd Street Cafe space and the Seventh Avenue Books space are still, alas, vacant.
But I’m guessing there will be action in those spaces, too. Barrio seems to be busy and successful! It should bring more to this vacated slice of Seventh Avenue.
I just passed by the former Park Slope Books store and there is a new floor being installed and some other interior work being done. There is brown paper covering the bottom half of the front window.
