I wouldn't exactly call it a tragic loss for the neighborhood, but it seems that the Quiznos Subs on East 12th & Broadway has closed up shop. I can't say I was a regular patron -- I may have stopped in once or twice last summer when my wife was out visiting my Mom with the kids and I was feeling culinarily unimaginative, but it didn't exactly blow a new part in my hair. If memory serves, prior to it becoming a Quiznos, it was an antique dealer's that I never set foot in. Who knows what will take its place now -- if anything. If I had a dollar for every failed business in this neighborhood that's left an empty storefront in its wake in the last two years, I'd have enough money to buy several tasty subway sandwiches. In any case, pour out a large-sized soft drink of your choice for the 12th street Quiznos.
In all honesty, I don't really give a good, rolling rat-fuck about a Quiznos closing. I'm frankly kinda glad it's gone. I'd love to see a book store or a record shop open in its place, but fat fuckin' chance of that. But, the closing of this fast food joint does handily serve as an excuse to post this endearingly bizarre ad, which I'll always have a soft spot for. SPONGE MONKEYS AHOY!
