Greenwich Avenue Battens Down

Stores along Greenwich Avenue prepare to greet Irene

Store fronts down Greenwich Avenue Saturday evening get ready to greet a different kind of shopper; mean Irene is not welcome on the Avenue!

Greenwich Avenue was almost eerie. Familiar store fronts normally lit up and full of activity on a Saturday night were dark; for example, Starbuck's Coffee and Thataway Cafe.

Haagen Dazs Ice Cream, which normally closes at 10:30 p.m., tried to close early at 7:30. However, every time the young lady working went to lock the door, an ice cream lover stepped in.  After a large group of middle school boys crowded the small shop, she paused before waiting on them to lock the door.
