While I'd seen the signs in the 8th Street windows announcing its opening there, I hadn't realized until today that this Soho treasure is moving, not expanding. I wonder what's going to occupy its former home -- Chase, S'Bucks or CVS?

I was thinking exactly the same! I guess Bank of America could also join the list of possibles. :D

I think Durst will try for higher-end retail. Heck, his tenants are paying up to $100 a square foot. If I was paying that, I'd want some damn good retail in the base of my building not some crap Duane Greed.

Not gonna be a Duane Reade -- or a bank of any sort.

There's very little foot traffic along that stretch of Broome St. -- especially when compared with Broadway or even West B'way.

Tons of cars, but they're all heading for the Holland Tunnel.

More than likely it will be a fairly high end store -- clothing or big expensive things for the home.
