\u00a0Situations like this have often occurred with the city in the past and if history repeats itself it does not look good for the \u00a0gas station owner. \u00a0Read more from one of several articles about the ongoing battle here\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/lucianne.com\/thread\/?artnum=696543\" target=\"_blank\">Lucianne.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The story was big enough to hit NY1\u00a0 today. \u00a0Twenty employees would lose their jobs if the gas station was sold. \u00a0The neighborhood has changed\u00a0with the booming businesses on Frederick Douglass Boulevard. \u00a0What once was an undesirable property now has become the hottest piece of Real Estate on Central Park. \u00a0I&#8217;ve stopped by this 24 hour market many times at night all the years I&#8217;ve lived here. \u00a0I do not own a car but the need for a gas station at this location can easily be supported by the continuos flow of cars and cabs 24 hours. \u00a0They also do repairs here which is very convenient. \u00a0I imagine the gas station on 96th Street will double in business if the 110th Street gas station closes but that location is small, on a hill and very dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>We will have to wait and see how this plays out but undoubtedly big business will win in the end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several articles surfaced today in the papers and on local news channels about the corner&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":832535,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[124718155,34961255,3225],"tags":[8202759,107359755,77809719,107187235,8557440,8527,279003,168119,124718158,13611479,107405322,93470272,107405321,107406046,20414251,192442,63680,9487,124718140,896831],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17301"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=17301"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17301\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17314,"href":"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17301\/revisions\/17314"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/832535"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=17301"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=17301"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=17301"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
