For every up there's a down (or a dozen of them). The charismatic Hair Design by Julie, sandwiched between Vivi & Five Color Nails on Fifth at 12th, is now completely empty. After Timboo's closed, I hoped Julie would keep a little old-school color left on the block, but it seems to be gone. The only long-time businesses left on this strip today are Joe's pizzeria & Tacos Nuevo Mexico. What else is there? Supermarkets & bars-to-be, the never busy Avon training center, a phone shop, & Nails. How much blander can things get?
Update: Hair Design is moving to a new location. Hopefully those scary looking women in the window will go along too.

"How much blander can things get?"
The words, "7-Eleven" and "Subway" immediately spring to my mind!
They're just a block or two away on either side.
I've been seeing San Bo Bo's gate down this past week. Where will all the postal workers go?
A while back I thought Sun Bo Bo had closed down - it was shuttered for a while. Then it came back! Maybe this time it's for good though. It'll be sad when that sign (that name!) comes down. Everything is going so fast.
