NIMA vows to re-open within 2-3 months

It’s been a tough break for the genial owner of the NIMA currency exchange, as it has been for everyone caught in the nasty fire that hit his next door neighbor Leaside Cleaners in October. Many were wondering whether Hamid would make it back into business at 1538 Bayview. He opened last February (left) fulfilling a dream to have a business named after his son, Nima. Hamid told the South Bayview Bulldog today that he will definitely be back in business but it may take a few months. The insurance companies have got to agree and the smoke and water damge still needs to be cleaned up. Hamid is the enterprising owner of, among other things, eight Subway sandwich outlets.
