Sometime around June, a fruit stand set up shop outside my window. They offered 4 bananas for $1, and 2 apples for $1, which I would always get, and occasionally a few other items, like carrots. I got to know the owners/operators, because I would often walk by, even if I wasn't buying.

About two weeks ago, they disappeared.

I don't have any experience with fruit stands, so what do you think happened? Do they often come and go, or did the cops make them move, or did their supplier shut down, or something else? Their prices beat the grocery store 50 feet away, so I enjoyed buying from them.

Anyone have any experience and/or theories? This was in Hell's Kitchen.
