Re: Opening of large pawn shop at NW corner of Queens Blvd. and 46th/Bliss
St.

We are distressed about the opening of a EZPawnCorp branch at the most

visible, prominent corner of the area, across the street from the Sunnyside
Arch, and at the 46th/Bliss #7 station. The message of financial decline
runs counter to every effort community groups and individuals work hard to
achieve every day. We know it might be almost impossible to intervene, and
we respect the right of an owner to set rents and lease as he or she sees
fit. But many of us are owners, too. And once established, what other
establishments will be attracted to open nearby? We need your assistance in
immediately closing or helping move the firm to a less prominent location.
Thank you.
