BUY, OR FEEL THE LASH OF THE WHIP

Spykes, the naughtywear shop on Shrewsbury Avenue, is going dark today. Patent-leather dark.

Owner Mary Jennings is temporarily putting the business in storage while she plans a move around the corner, to the former Gasper Sign shop on Bridge Avenue, opposite the train station. But first, there’s a sale today (Saturday), from noon to 3p. All merchandise is 50-percent off.

After that, it may be months before devotees of menacing heels and see-through everythings can get their fill. Jennings says she doesn’t yet have a reopening date. Do you have a problem with that?

Elite Hardwood Flooring is slated to take over the Shrewsbury Avenue space.
