Mayor Bloomberg Ruins Canal Street For good
City Room reported last night that 32 storefronts with counterfeit goods have been shut down in Chinatown today! Mayor Bloomberg has obtained a restraining order to shut down illegal business in “Counterfeit Triangle,” that treasure trove of fake designer goodies from “Coach” bags to “Fendi” sunglasses. Worth more than one million dollars in street value, the mayor has decreed that storefronts must be replaced by legitimate businesses. Or else.
