Parting Shot - A passerby Monday takes note of a sign taped inside the window of the former Wolverine Adult Entertainment store. The 200 Fourth Avenue Group, an investment group that owns the building, forced the store to vacate its Fourth Avenue location Sunday night because owners allowed property to deteriorate below city standards. The landlord group could not be reached for comment this morning.
