To: Joseph Crowley, CongressmanCatherine Nolan, AssemblywomanJimmy Van Bramer, CouncilmanRe: Opening of large pawn shop at NW corner of Queens Blvd. and46th/Bliss St.We are distressed about the opening of a EZPawnCorp branch at themost visible, prominent corner of the area, across the street from theSunnyside Arch, and at the 46th/Bliss #7 station. The message of financial decline runs counter to every effort community groups andindividuals work hard to achieve every day. We know it might be almostimpossible to intervene, and we respect the right of an owner to setrents and lease as he or she sees fit. But many of us are owners, too.And once established, what other establishments will be attracted toopen nearby? We need your assistance in immediately closing orhelping move the firm to a less prominent location.Thank you.Ira Greenberg, President, Sunnyside ChamberPatricia Dorfman, 3rd Vice President, Sunnyside ChamberRigoberto Cardoso, Treasurer, Sunnyside ChamberRebecca Barker, Board, Sunnyside ChamberDan Glasser, Stray Vintage, Board, Sunnyside ChamberTim Chen, Quaint, Board, Sunnyside ChamberRita Lowry, Welcome Home Real Estate, Board, Sunnyside ChamberRoel van der Kooi, Board, Sunnyside Chamber
