You Never Miss The Water
Roger and Dave, RIP - I saw this boarded up Wednesday, and even though I've walked by it hundreds, maybe thousands of times, I couldn't remember what kind of store it was...
I learned that the twosome had been selling kitchy adult toys and gay novelty products and their two Chelsea stores in a business they entered 27 years ago.

They weren't priced out. They simply... retired.. Sorry I never walked in. I even missed the close-out sale...

The well has run dry (snif)...

Night falls on NYC, Monday night, to be specific. I shot this Hudson River twilight from the terrace of David's building, at least 20 stories up..
