RE: J&R closing their doors

As the article in today's New York Times suggests, there's no indication from J&R's statement (or in response to direct questioning) that the redevelopment will prioritize music or AV equipment retailing. What the statement said is that it will represent “an unprecedented retailing concept and social mecca.” The company refused to be more specific in response to questions about the nature of that retailing concept. IMO, it's very likely that the future development will reflect the imperatives of land values in that part of Manhattan. In other words, I think a return of a traditional (music) retail outlet on the scale of the recent incarnation of J&R is very unlikely.
