Signing Bonus

I was walking up First Avenue last night, thinking about the fact that when a store closes, overnight no one remembers what was there before!

As if to test this, I saw this Retail For Lease sign, between the beloved Saifee Hardware & Garden on one side and the beloved Dojo Sushi:

No idea.

Naturally, I took a peek inside:

Whoever rents this place might get this chair — free!

Free chair.

How's that for a signing bonus?!

Here's the view inside. Nothing much to look at.
