My Life In Brooklyn

According to ATP (Across the Park), the New Brooklyn & Slim will be closing for good.  This is sad news, it really is a pity to see places with such a long tenure closing.  A bit of history about to end.  I took this picture of the place a couple of weeks ago, it has definitely been one of my favorite signs in the neighborhood.

In other news, this evening I walked over to my retail nemesis, Associated, and was deeply sorry I neglected to have the camera with me.  I noted a new business working on their digs, I think it used to be a dollar type store previously, but I forget — unfortunately I don’t think I ever managed to get a picture of it.  Tonight they were installing a ceiling treatment (bright red satiny cloth), and they did have their sign up — QQ Nails and Hair — or it could have been QQ Hair and Nails — located a few doors north of Associated.

Honestly I am always happy to see people working toward their dreams, it isn’t easy, and I wish them well. But pardon me if I don’t cheer.
