In business since 1959, Oyster Bar at Seventh Avenue and 54th Street, closed this past Sunday. The usual greed was to blame. The building owner is destroying the building, and this beautiful restaurant filled with memories (and excellent seafood) so he can erect a cookie-cutter hotel like all the others in midtown. And so, New York City dies another death. Bring out your dead.

It's only January, and so many old places are tumbling fast. Blind greed.
Great shot of the neon sign. That greed is something that is in the end ruin everything on earth i think. Pity until you find out that you can't eat money.
That photo takes my breath away.
Greed seems like such a simple explanation, but I don't have a better one.
I hope you made an offer on that sign, Ken.
But the photo itself is great, really urban. It could have been taken 50 years ago.
It seems that everything changes. I remember when many businesses were closing there. I remember there was a shoe store in the village it was there when I was a teen. Then after the economic problem it closed down. It was so sad to see so many stores and businesses closing like that almost all at the same time. All I could see were banks and cell phones stores opening up.
The neon sign itself has been preserved at the corner of DeLancey and Allen Street.
An interesting discussion is worth comment. I think that you should write more on this topic, it might not be a taboo subject but generally people are not enough to speak on such topics. To the next.

Can I just say what a relief to find someone who actually knows what theyre talking about on the internet. You definitely know how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More people need to read this and understand this side of the story. I cant believe youre not more popular because you definitely have the gift.
