Sari shop, 37th Road pedestrian plaza. From The Wall Street Journal: “In my 12 years here I have not seen Jackson Heights this dead,” said Rita Kamdar, owner of Mahavir Pack & Ship, a phone card and FedEx shop on 37th Road. “We have lost a lot of business, almost 60% of our business, because of no traffic,” she added. “If this continues like this we’ll just have to go out of business one fine day.”
