pet store no more

not sure what will be taking over this pet store that's resided on the corner of Houston and Eldridge for over 20 years. as we expected, searching Curbed, we found they scooped a bit of info on the place back in January - and it looks like ANOTHER HOTEL! dam, our heads are spinning with the increasing misery the over-development of our hood has brought. as L.O.C.O. can tell you, it's already out of control and ruining the beauty of one of NY's most historic neighborhoods and the lives of people living here. we can't even keep track of the number of hotels being built in the LES, think it's up to 5. fuck.
