The stripped, vertical sign beside the doorway still advertises "stereo needles" and "tapes" for sale. <BR/><BR/>Today, when I told a transplanted New Yorker and former Bondy's shopper, now resident in Florida, that there would soon be an IHOP open in Times Square, he reminded that the suburbanization of Manhattan has been a continuing theme for the past couple of generations. One that has simply accelerated to warp speed now.<BR/><BR/>This Florida attorney reminded me that what was once Saks 34th Street (before Saks Fifth Avenue) was, sometime between 1967 and 1972, transformed into an E.J. Korvettes' store. That too, was a vivid example of the suburbs entering Manhattan. He was right, but I didn't feel any better.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02501919396696529479noreply@blogger.com
