In keeping with the potentially awful news about the removal of the classic B&H Dairy sign, the Carroll Gardens Fish Market has covered up their nice old painted sign (you can still see part of it on the left) with a new boring blue awning. Are there any studies that show that new awning actually improve business? Whey do people do this? So they can look like any stupid store in the country, and scrub away any originality or history? And, you know, the cheap way they make these awnings today, they end up looking like crap in six months.
They did it to make some money,same reason anyone else does. Their business is definitely down, so they're trying to do something to shake it up. A long-term loss for the neighborhood, but an attempt at a short-term gain for the owners. Can't fault them for that.
