Slog - Comments on Alan Jacobs on Second Avenue and Pike Street http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/06/so_leroy_owns_this_fine So, Alan, I know Leroy owns this fine establishment, but how long have you worked here? Twenty years. The store has been here for 21 years—we used to be located where the Walgreens is now, up on Third. I'm assuming you've seen some wild stuff go down, being on Pike Street for that long. Yeah, you do see a lot of stuff here because of the location, like all the crack dealers and drugs. I've also seen stores though that come and try to sell the same clothing we carry, but they don't last more than a few months....

I've always wanted to. A couple of years ago Al Green played the Paramount, and there must have been forty Leroy's suits in the lobby -- spectacular.

Mr. Poe would like fine in one too, I'm sure -- but maybe the burgundy? No, you're right, the red.

I, unfortunately, am not one of those people.

I usually prefer loud colors but not blue. Orange would be good. I'd love to be able to pull off mustard, but my skin tone is too pallid. Black men look FANTASTIC in mustard.
