Galloway Gallery: Exhibit 46

Signs in front of the building announce "Sale Pending" and "Going Out of Business." It's been known for a while that Harmon was looking to retire and the building that housed Harmon's Auto Repair was for sale, but Gossips learned only today that when the sale closes next week, the new owner of the property, which extends along the west side of Third Street from Union to Partition, will be T. Eric Galloway.

  1. I've been thinking that building is a perfect candidate for the kind of renovation done by the folks at Local 111 in Philmont.

  2. A great sturdy building. Also reminiscent of the now Art Studio &
    Gallery in Stuyvesant, Corner of 9J & 26A. Former Auto repair shop.

  3. First Ritter's closes, and now Harmon, my auto mechanic is departing. There goes the neighborhood!--in more ways than one.

  5. How 'bout putting in a Filli's, or an alternative "bridge" school, or a senior center, or a library, or an SRO, or MHA residents, or illegal alien laborers? How about a police station and a court room....

    Wouldn't it look great with doric columns and some wrought iron fencing?

    Or, it would be just wonderful left unused and boarded up for years and years.

    Gotta love those rich lefties.
