Closed stores

Part of Atlantic Ave in Dntn Bkln is known as Antique Alley. When I lived in Boerum Hill w/my own business, these store owners were my friends & neighbors. Recently, alas, I noticed several of them closed, my friends gone who know where. Tho' I cd not buy I loved to look into the stores, one or two had cats sleeping in the windows. There was a lovely restaurant furnished w/linen & silver from the QE2! I cd just now & then squeeze out the $ for Sun brnch w/my then 7-8 yr old son. Another friend is a realtor, who had an art gallery next door. The gallery is closed w/some sort of display in the window. I miss too the annual Best Window Decor competition, the displays were fabulous!
