Ecko is taking over a long-deserted Times Square theater on 42nd Street, with plans to turn it into a "four-level, $25 million supermarket of what is cool and fashionable in clothing, art, video games, electronics and collectible sneakers for the urban youth market." Writes one correspondent, "Times Square Theatre was the only theatre on the 'deuce' that never showed a porno film." (Memo to Ecko: don't get any ideas.)
