Spykes, the risqué undergarment and footwear store that opened four years ago on Shrewsbury Avenue, has reduced its hours. A handwritten note on the door says the business is now open only from 3 to 6p Mondays and 12 to 6p Wednesdays.

A large “sale” sign is hung across the store’s display window, and another says the place is for rent. But the purveyor of lambskin thigh-high stiletto boots and lacy bustiers isn’t going bust: it’s relocating, according to the note. To where, it doesn’t say, and owner Mary Jennings couldn’t be reached for details.

We hear, though, that Spykes is moving around the corner to the former Gasper Sign shop on Bridge Avenue, opposite the train station. If that turns out to be wrong, spank us.
