French Cafe to Replace French Cafe?
Rumor has it that the recently departed The Adore on 13th St. will be replaced by another French cafe. More rumors soon.
Sebco Laundry will no longer be accepting pre-paid cards to use the machines in our buildings. They are switching to an app which is called My Magic Pass. Residents will need to download the app and use the site code 7–11 EAST 13TH STREET.
You will be able to pay for use of the machines by using the app. Directions on how to use the app are posted in each laundry room.
If residents have money on their current cards Damian will provide an envelope to mail to Sebco to get refunded. Please let us know if you need an envelope. THere are also envelopes available in the laundry rooms.

What used to be a fur shop is now Petco. Somehow appropriate. 
Souen, the slightly funky smelling organic/vegan/macrobiotic restaurant on the other side of 13th St., has closed for what it says will be a months-long renovation. Will it return? Only time will tell.
