"In an unprecedentedly dumb move, the city this morning announced plans to demolish yet another New York City treasure: mom and pop business Sport Trax and Shoes on 99th St. and Broadway. The legendary sport equipment and clothing store has been selling patent leather Air Jordans and Adidas Gazelles in Ladies' Sz. 2 since 1998, and UWS natives are 'falling off the back of a truck' in surprise. Owner Marquis Hasad had this to say. 'Is a terrible thing, the way they push us out. No where else you go you find Hulk Hands and Coogi Sweater at same store in this neighborhood.' There is a ceremony this Wednesday at 9:00 am to watch those famed red stock letters, which have become so familiar in the high west 90's, be divvied up among the remaining neighborhood shoe stores. When asked what will become of his beloved employees in this difficult economic climate, Hasad simply queried 'Employees?' Sport Trax and Shoes, we will miss you forever. Please join "Lost City" on Thursday for a boycott of the new free clinic that will fill the hallowed walls of our lost legend. Mayor Bloomberg, we hope your dick falls off in your hand."
