West Side Rag is not necessarily accustomed to the bright lights of television, but we had the chance Thursday night to go on Fox 5 New York to discuss vacant storefronts on the Upper West Side.
The Rag’s Managing Editor Gus Saltonstall took viewers behind the scenes of our annual vacant storefront count on Broadway, where Saltonstall walks the duration of both sides of Broadway from 59th to 110th streets and counts the empty commercial spaces.
He’s done it every year in October since 2019.
The TV appearance was part of Fox 5 New York’s new series called “Tomorrow’s Headlines Tonight,” in which an anchor highlights an upcoming work by a print or online journalist.
Our 2026 iteration of the Broadway Upper West Side vacant storefront count will be published next week.
