Rumor has it that a popular fruit store on Ave J, will be closing down shortly. Any truth to this rumor? Anyone know why?
November 19, 2008 8:13 pm at 8:13 pm #681539bored@workParticipantThere was a sign last week saying that they will not be closing, although Eddie did tell a friend of mine that he is, so I dont know

November 27, 2008 7:55 pm at 7:55 pm #681542Feif UnParticipantYes, the owner of the store didn’t renew the lease. Same story with J2 pizza next door, they also lost their lease.
Eddie really is an amazing person. The day before my wedding, I was in a car with my brother driving down Ave J, and he got into a minor fender-bender (actually, a fender-scratcher) in front of the store. Eddie saw me there, said “You’re getting married tomorrow, you don’t have time to deal with this!”, and offered to pay the guy whatever it cost to fix the car so I could go do what I had to do.

He will be sitting tonight (Dec. 15) at Lubavitch on Ocean Parkway in the bais medrash until 9:00 PM
He will be getting up from shiva tomorrow morning.
