FUNNY BUSINESS?

You know The Funny Store, the famous gag shop near The Laugh Factory? Perhaps you've caught wind that it's closing down because the city needs a new luxury high-rise. It was recently written up in The New York Times.
























Around midnight two signs went up on the Funny Store door. I'm sorry they're out of focus—my X-Ray Specs must've distracted me. Click on the pix to make them bigger and more readable.

a new hi-rise is more welcome than a bunch of tourist and sex shops!
