Under what circumstances would a business prosper if it's located in a part of NYC that a born and bred New Yorker like myself never even knew existed? In order to get to City Island one must take the train to Pelham Bay and then take a bus. There are only 4,000 residents there in a city of 8 million and almost no foot traffic other than nautical. No one I ever knew sailed boats in NYC except my father who had a boat docked on the hudson river boat basin on the upper west side during the late 40's before I was born. Very few people I knew owned cars in New York. No one I knew had any reason to travel to City Island. Esoteric bike shops are one thing but geographically unreachable is wholly another. Are there any photos of the old shop in its location?
