Close Already!
I've posted before and again about the supposed imminent shuttering of the flea market at 530 Castro Street. They promised us a June 15 closing, but with a touch of yellow reflective tape they've now postponed the closure to June 30. They've continued to evolve away from their origin as a poster stand and now have a product mix that is somewhere between a Pier One and a head shop. I guess it's at least one fewer empty storefront for Pride weekend, but still, when can we get a "real" store in here?

Bruce,
The condition of that space has always been neglected. Browser's Nook was there in the 70's and that is the one space I can honestly say has never changed. The landlord will have to make some major improvements before anyone worthwhile will move in there.
Jim, thanks for the heads up! I didn't know about this, and will have to go check it out. I'm not too surprised, though. The owners did something to change this place from a Peet's-level of crowdedness to a retail wasteland. I never knew the full story, but I'd like to find out.
As for the Browser's Nook space, yep, it's still a dump, but they were working at removing the broken up floor tiles today, so maybe improvements are coming? Maybe?
