It is with heavy hearts that we are sharing the news that Astor Place Hairstylists ๐✂️has announced that they will be forced to close at the end of November due to a huge (90%) drop in business since they reopened after the Coronavirus pandemic shutdown of all hair salons.

Queens Comfort, Queens, NY
We were saddened to hear the news on @queenscomfort IG feed that this amazing brunch spot on 30th Avenue in Astoria, Queens just permanently closed after over 9 years in business due to “the financial strain of operating with limited outdoor dining” due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
Owner, Donald D’Alessio is looking for a new space to reopen in the future but in the meantime you can still support by donating to their GoFundMe page which can be easily found as a direct link in their bio. We will miss his chick n’ waffles and definitely hope that he brings the “Home Sweet Home” neon with him when he reopens!

Thank you to our friend Wally Koval of the wildly popular Accidently Wes Anderson Instagram account for including our Kickstarter campaign about our efforts to save the historic neon sign at Palomba Academy of Music in NYC forced to close after 64 years
We can’t thank our friend, Wally Koval of the wildly popular AWA Instagram account Accidentally Wes Anderson, enough for including our Kickstarter campaign about our efforts to save the historic neon sign at Palomba Academy of Music in NYC , which was forced to close after 64 years in business due to the Coronavirus lockdown, in their latest AWA newsletter.
We really appreciate the love and support! To find out more about our Kickstarter which ends in less than 31 hours and to see the rewards you can get for supporting our documentary: http://kck.st/33J4CRY
From AWA: "Founded by the Palomba family in the 1950s, the Palomba Academy of Music has been serving and enriching the Williamsbridge community in the Bronx borough of New York City for more than 64 years. In addition to being an instrumental influence in their community, the Academy is also known for their historic 25 foot two-color neon signage designed in 1956 by Milton Grauer of the famous Grauer Sign Co. Unfortunately, like many other small businesses, this family run beacon of musical creativity was forced to shut their doors this year.
But as a small glimmer of a silver lining, the ever amazing New York photographers & budding preservationists, James & Karla Murray have taken it upon themselves to save a piece of this historic neon symbol. A Bronx Native herself, Karla had many fond memories of Palomba Academy of Music - even getting her first keyboard from the neighborhood institution.
In 2010, she and James interviewed the second-generation owner, Michael Palomba and photographed the music school & store for their book "Store Front II - A History Preserved" (Disclaimer: We bought their book...and it's super good) Michael let them in on how he inherited the store from his father when he was only 19 years old. He enjoyed being able to teach students not just about music, but about how important the art was to his life. Throughout his time at the shop, Michael truly embedded himself and the shop into the community by providing free lessons to neighborhood kids who were not able to afford them, and holding regular free concerts & recitals.
Karla & James, in tandem with the iconic NYC neon shop 'Let There Be Neon', are planning to gently remove the porcelain enameled panels from the facade of the building and carefully transport the sign to its new home at the American Sign Museum in Cincinnati, Ohio - the largest public museum dedicated to signs in the United States. As they move through the process and the 675 mile journey from the Bronx to Cincinnati they will be filming & compiling what is sure to be a compelling documentary. To make this all a reality, they started a Kickstarter campaign which they have already exceeded their goal. If you would like to be a part of neon history, you can take a peek here! And either way, make sure to take a peek at the other amazing places that they document on their IG every day!"
NEW LIMITED EDITION STRETCH GOAL ADDED
First pressing Clear 12 inch Vinyl of J DILLA “Give Them What They Want” sealed in original plastic with bar code on back and J Dilla sticker on front plastic.
Album cover photo by James and Karla Murray from “Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York”.

• We launched a KICKSTARTER campaign “SAVING A HISTORIC NEON SIGN IN NYC” to help fund our short film, which documents our journey to help save the historic neon signage at Palomba Academy of Music. In our short film, we will interview the 2nd-generation owner, Michael Palomba, about the joys and stuggles of operating a family-owned music shop and school and why he was forced to close his historic business due to the Coronavirus shutdown.

Frank’s Sport Shop in the Bronx has been in business since 1922
Frank’s Sport Shop in the Bronx has been in business since 1922 & has an amazing #neon sign which was installed in 1949.
Frank’s Sport Shop, a family-owned small business, has recently been in the news because Nike corporation sent an email to the 2nd-generation owner, Moe Stein of its decision to exit a partnership dating back 5 decades as it “no longer aligns with our distribution policy”.
Although @frankssports is NOT in danger of closing despite the slap in the face by Nike, there is a petition you can sign at Change.org to tell Nike that if they abandon small local businesses, we will abandon them.
• WE ALSO NEED YOUR SUPPORT to SAVE another historic NEON SIGN at the Palomba Academy of Music in the Bronx which has been forced to close after 64 years in business due to the Coronavirus shutdown. (Swipe left for 2nd photo of Palomba’s #storefront and neon sign).
