Recently, I wrote about
the gutting of the venerable Colony Music in Times Square, after their new landlord
hiked the rent to astronomic proportions hoping to attract a big-box chain store to replace the 60-year-old independent business.
Well, now they have a tenant.
One of those ubiquitous, opportunistic Halloween shops has moved in, filling the place with Jason masks and slutty nurse costumes. It's an indignity that many of our vanished have been
forced to suffer in the fall. Of course, it's just temporary. Undoubtedly, something far worse will come along.

Thanks to Marion who sent in the photo. She writes, "The landlords will make a quick buck on the depressing 'Spirit' Halloween pop-up from now until October 31. Will the space finally be taken over by a TD Bank? A Rite-Aid (Duane Reade is on the same block up Broadway)? Fucking New York 2013."
