There was a Robert Hall men's clothing store, and there was a bowling alley upstairs, which came later. Fourteenth Street then was a huge divide--moderate middle class on one side, low income on the other. From Avenue A to Avenue C, most stores seemed to cater to one clientele or the other. Avenue B from 14th to 13th offered options: a soda fountain/newspaper and magazine store (Fradel's), a kosher butcher (Dave Gorelick), a fruit and vegetable store (American Fruit), and a little later a dairy products store (Harry's). And the post office was on Avenue B too. Nowadays people are willing to schlep blocks to Trader Joe's, but probably not to Avenue C.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837176580996082182.post-84375327354927153712013-06-15T11:56:00.539-04:002013-06-15T11:56:00.539-04:00This comment should probably be in a new thread.

It is dated June 14, 2013, and it is from Compass Rock. I am one of the renters who received a mid term rent increase. The envelope contains three pages and it is a form letter with an affidavit that needs to be filled in. The letter states that if you were a mid term rent increase tenant and you were told, orally or in writing, by any PCVST agent that the Roberts mid term increase would not apply to your current lease, then complete and notorize the attached affidavit. The affidavit is to be sent to the Attoorney General of NYS and CW. It also states that if the affadavit is submitted you will not be charged the increase for your current lease. We only have until 6/30/2013 to submit the affidavit. <br />So let's hear from anyone who knows what this is about? This clause has been in my lease since I rented under Tiscman and Speyer. I asked about it when I signed my initial lease in 2008 and was told they would never raise rents in the middle of a lease. I have many questions about this and will investigate before I send it in.

For another, a visual blight from a building "with virtually no restrictions on height limitations." And for another another, the further loss of middle-class affordable stores to be replaced by bars and Starbucks."</i><br /><br />Most of this is true, but there will be NO "LOSS of middle-class affordable stores" since the R & S Strauss that once existed there (and IS the one story building that's being referred to) has been gone for years & years.<br /><br />The rest of this pretty much sucks, though. I always thought the USPS would take over THIS location after announcing the closing of the Peter Stuyvesant Branch. As a parent (or even a student) I'd think this location was a pretty shitty one, truth be told. Next to the projects, next to the East River, across from Con Ed, and (except for C Town) NO support facilities or businesses unless they're included in the new structure. Nope, not too appealing, even on paper. The very reason that lot has stayed exactly the same way for so many years.
