    "Healthy Back" Bags on 7th?

    lirio writes in the Message Boards: Sometime last summer, my stepdad purchased a 'Healthy Back Bag.' I could swear we got it in a shoe store on 7th Ave., but the few that I've called don't know what I'm talking about. If I remember correctly, it carried shoes like Timbs, Merrill, etc. I know that probably doesn't narrow it down."

    "... Anybody know where I can pick up a bag like this in town or in Manhatttan? Tear-drop shaped backpack, one strap:"

    Stodgy Seventh Gives Way to Hip Fifth (FULL TEXT)

    LISA SELIN DAVIS wrote in the New York Times: "Fonda Sara ... opened Zuzu's Petals, a flower shop and nursery, on Seventh Avenue near Berkeley Place in 1971... after a fire last summer wiped out her home of 30 years, she could not find an affordable storefront on Seventh Avenue ..."

    "... she moved to Fifth Avenue near Fifth Street, joining small shops like Under the Pig Antiques and Galaxy Comics in making the leap from Seventh Avenue to Fifth."

    "As chain stores continue to replace small businesses along Seventh Avenue, its hip, younger sibling, Fifth Avenue, is becoming what its older brother once was: a home for entrepreneurial adventurers, many of whom, forced out by rising rents, have set up shop two blocks east and a world away."

    "... rents on Fifth Avenue are roughly $30 to $40 per square foot, half the rate along Seventh Avenue, which, with Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights, commands the highest commercial rents in the borough."
