Nice, hand-painted sign way the hell up on upper Broadway, at 207th, in Inwood. "Everything you need for your home and more." Don't know how old, but people say it's been around "forever."

Not quite forever. Back in the early 80's it was Dickstein's hardware and it was located on west 207th street, a block and a half east of Broadway. Sometime in the 80's the current owners took over and the store moved to Broadway just north of 207th. It's still the kind of store where you can find a little bit of everything you need - some cleaning supplies, housewares, hardware, a real old-fashioned store.
The original, running Jeremiad on the vestiges of Old New York as they are steamrolled under or threatened by the currently ruthless real estate market and the City Fathers' disregard for Gotham's historical and cultural fabric. Est. January 2006. Contact Me
I have lived in New York City since 1988 and earn my bread as a writer. I began this blog in January 2006. Beyond that, don't be so nosy.

One of the old book jackets lining the walls of Chumley's. Eternal Shame on Bloomberg, the City Fathers, and the powers that be that this cultural landmark has STILL not been saved and reopened.
