It was a considerably rougher and less prosperous Brooklyn back then. <br /><br />In any event, he described a former bridal store that had been converted into something else and with windows poking through the fading painted signage on the second floor. At the time, the painted figure of a bride was still faintly visible, though partly obliterated by the windows. On the left of this storefront I can sort of see a figure. It must be the very same former bridal shop.<br /><br />PeterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-27448934223090303582014-05-19T16:45:56.948-07:002014-05-19T16:45:56.948-07:00I'm thinking the windows were there but covere...I'm thinking the windows were there but covered and painted over.
