			<description><![CDATA[Awesome!! If Blow is not interested in expanding to the Smoke Shop, as per their own comment, who is going to want that small space? No one .... Mr. Ferrari should be made aware of this new revelation since their intentions have suddenly changed due to public outcry. Those were NOT the facts before. Blow this.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thank you so much for bringing the story of the Smoke Shop to everyone’s attention. I have hesitated to write until I felt I could also act but I was heartbroken when I first read the article a few weeks ago. I am in my early thirties and have spent most of my life in Rye. When I was little, my friends and I used to run down to the Smoke Shop and get sour candies and bubble tape. When I was a bit older, my mom used to drop me off after school so I could check out the latest magazines. When I left Rye for school I always knew I was home again when I caught sight of the Smoke Shop in town. Recently I have made a conscious effort to cancel my magazine subscriptions and support the Smoke Shop as I know such institutions are disappearing fast. I had not been through the doors in years and was, as always, greeted with such genuine kindness. Peg looked at me and asked how my brothers and family were as if not a day had passed. This is what makes Rye what it is. I understand the laws dictating this issue, the market demands, and our changing economy. I am part of a generation who will probably not be able to live in the town we grew up in. People of my age are either moving away or buying homes from their parents as they retire. While there is nothing one can do about this, everyone must understand the value of the character of Rye. Our town’s quality does not just depend on its proximity to Manhattan and good schools to support a competitive real estate market but also the physical charm of its downtown buildings and the heart of the people like Peg and Tony. No one would want to buy a house at these prices in a town with a strip populated by nondescript banks and nail salons. I was so pleased when I ran into Amber Nee the other week and saw that she has started to do something about it. We have taken her petition and brought it online. Please visit our facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/SAVE-TDs-Rye-Smoke-Shop/288335907927414 or the petition directly on change.org: http://www.change.org/petitions/rye-city-council-and-planning-board-declare-t-d-s-rye-smoke-shop-to-be-a-historic-landmark-2 Thank you, Lindsey Russell]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[If your comment about Blow is correct, then it would seem a letter writing / boycott campaign of Blow would be an appropriate action. Anyone commenting on this blog go to Blow?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Harsh? Dan and Alex are being realists. I am a regular customer of the smoke shop and will support keeping it in place, but not at the cost of infringing someone else's rights. The decision about what to do with the property lies with the owner. Period. We can all write to him and ask for an extension of the lease, but to expect that he takes a loss on the property without even a tax write off is irrational.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[My grandfather, Charlie Bursey, worked in the Smoke Shop after his retirement. He passed away in 1979. It has been many years since I lived in Rye, but this corner store is as vivid in my memory as the photo in this article. I know Rye has changed over the years. I hope something can be done to preserve something of its character, its history, as inevitable changes occur. It is perhaps just a sentimental hope with respect to the Smoke Shop. Good luck.]]></description>
