In recent days, loyal customers of Shan Fu Grocery (A&N Fruit Store) at 23 Canal St. have been saying their goodbyes. That first winter in business, after a big snow storm, they decided to build a huge snowman in front of the store. We all loved it (The Lo-Down covered the Essex Street Snowman like breaking news)! The city’s Department of Buildings recently approved the demolition of 3 Essex St. Incidentally, Building Equity Management is also listed in city records as the point of contact for 3-5 Essex St.
