A few neighbors have noticed that they have been hauling trash and other junk from the bodega at the corner of Central and Melrose for the past couple weeks. A source confirms that they have been evicted for allegedly selling drugs. I’m going to go with that, because I don’t see how they could really be making any money there selling groceries — who would buy food from this crumbling, squalid, stank dump? The building itself, mostly boarded up, is almost imperceptibly leaning toward the street, and I can’t imagine it will be saved.
Good riddance, shitbag bodega. You won’t be the first to go.

The whole building needs an overhaul!

It’s really bad, I can’t imagine it will survive. People are living in it, I think, so it must be somewhat structurally sound. Who knows?

I hate that place. I walk by it every morning on the way to the J train. It stinks. Can’t wait to see it gone.

I am so glad to see it go! I went in one day for ciggs as well, and was pretty creeped out by the people there.
