I'd actually kill for a BUCKLE to open up in NYC.

Yes, Colony was overpriced. But I have fond memories of purchasing sheet music there, or just stopping in for fun to see what they had.

Of course, I would hope that it's replaced by something that's not a Duane Reade, Starbucks, Dunkin or Chase. But that seems unlikely.

I guess I better get used to not buying CDs anymore.

I wonder if they'll have any sales or discounts for their last weeks.

This makes me really sad...their CDs and such are overpriced but I used to go in to look at sheet music and would occasionally buy something. They were one of the last vestiges of actual New York in Times Square...that is to say, a non-corporate business. How much of that is even left now?

Aww. I'm touched.

I mean, I like crappy faux-Italian food as much as the next guy (not really), but still...

I want Olive Garden now.

Is there a never-ending pasta sale?
I'll take that and red lobster biscuits any day

And hookers. Updated On: 8/23/12 at 01:10 PM

NOOOO. This place is such a chunk of my theatre-going history.

Yes, a true broadway institution and like all other broadway institutions it centered around price gouging.

So accustomed to seeing this when walking up Broadway. I'll miss it. California Pizza , another Dallas BBQ, Miller's Ale House or Chili's. I am pretty sure it will be some sort of chain restaurant. Large space in the heart of Times Square. Win Win

It was fun to look around, but their prices just made me laugh. I mourned the loss of Footlight, but I won't miss the rip-off that is Colony.

I'll miss the animated neon sign: "I Found it at The Colony" with the 50's girl holding up an LP

Good bye. Good bye Colony. Goodbye Mom & Pop Store. Good bye to whores tricking and Mama's sunflowers. And Howard Johnsons. Oh, Times Square you're too wonderful for anybody to realize you.

They should turn it into a Dairy Queen.
