Argo Electronics
VANISHED
After close to four decades, Argo Electronics on Canal Street has closed. Tribeca Citizen shared the news today, writing, "I’d have to wager that the building—and the one(s) to the west—aren’t long for this world."

Argo was a beautiful little remnant of old Canal, its wares organized in cardboard boxes spilling out to the sidewalk, a cacophony of useful junk and stuff.
Power cords. Extension cords. Remote controls. Rolls of duct tape. Rolls of masking tape.
Motherboards. Keyboards. Key chains. Coffee pots. Flip flops. Watch bands.
I never got the chance to go inside, but I always liked the look of the place and photographed it each time I went by, mostly because it had that look.
You know the look. The one that says: I won't last much longer in this new New York.
