Title: Goodbye, Geri's Deli
Post by: BLeafe on June 13, 2016, 04:27:01 PM: I took this yesterday.

I saw the "Lease" signs and no one answers their phone, so...............adios!

Assuming that the building's staying, anyone know what's replacing Geri's?

Post by: ericmartindale on January 31, 2019, 08:17:36 PM: It's a visual improvement, I'm very happy the hideous blue is gone. Now, what really needs to happen is (1) remove the invasive billboard, and (2) restore the house to it's historic identity and give it a plaque. If my memory serves correct, the house dates to 1836 and was home to a historic figure.
