Kanye West's New York 'Pablo' Pop-Up Shop by the Numbers
The last day of Kanye West's surprise 72-hours-only The Life of Pablo pop-up shop in downtown Manhattan—announced with a tweet—brought out (hopefully) the last blast of chill on the first day of spring and a crowd of Yeezy fans who were so excited for TLOP merch they were lined up down the block before sunrise.
