a small local space that used to be a dollar shop (not everything cost a dollar though, those liars!) they're now closed because next door is a "dollar tree" store that's going to be opened soon. not cool, dude...
prior to it being empty, and prior to it being a dollar store, this place was an internet/gaming cafe. and before that, i really don't remember. i'd have to dig back into my childhood...
also: i never realized how long (lengthwise) this store was until it was empty.
ODC1: Storefront,
Michael's is a fabric, arts and crafts store that closed in this location about 3 years ago and the store has been empty ever since. It's not too hard to find empty stores.
The zig-zag glass facade of this storefront is pretty darn cool, but even better are the tiles below the window: black hexagons!

Including a former bar at left (I need a good close-up shot of this. Finding lots of former bars on the NW side). Technically in Albany Park (across from Irving Park)

I'm quite happy to see a midcentury storefront so intact. The raised window boxes and terrazzo are stunning. So often these indoor/outdoor spaces are gutted to the sidewalk to increase interior square footage, but I adore the talent of window-dressing and am thrilled to see this one still going strong.
I pass this storefront every day and for some reason I find it funny! I suppose patrons from the pizza joint can pop over to the gym afterwords to help their conscience! Also, I wonder if the two businesses share coupons with each others customers, like buy a large pizza and get $5 off at the gym next door!

The Bosse Toy Train Museum in Santa Barbara, CA features a mural of the old Santa Barbara Southern Pacific passenger station (presently, the Amtrak station) with the famous Daylight 4449 steam locomotive.
Two Boots, which is named for the geographical shapes of Italy 🇮🇹 and Louisiana, was founded by two partners (Doris Kornish & Phil Hartman) and specialized in Cajun-Italian cooking. The original location in the East Village opened in 1987 and became popular for its cornmeal crust pizza 🍕. The @twobootspizza location on 7th Avenue at West 11th Street (seen in our photo) opened in 1995 but since the beginning of November has sadly been closed for non-payment of taxes. We are not sure 🤔if it will reopen but have always loved the restaurant’s colorful #signage and the fact that each location uniquely features the work of local artists.
This storefront at 15 East Hastings has been empty for ages and most recently the sidewalk had been occupied by homeless people living in tents. But with a new sign and the sidewalk cleaned up, it looks like a new pharmacy will open quite soon. This address had been home to Knowltons Drugs which at one time had been the city's oldest pharmacy until it closed sometime around 2015.
Spring is almost here and our thoughts immediately go to Spring Lounge on Spring Street at the corner of Mulberry was originally opened in the 1920s as an illegal speakeasy. After Prohibition ended the bar became known as “Chappy’s” and later changed its name to “Wilson’s 10:30, named for the starting time of the nightly craps 🎲 games which were held in the basement. It was renamed Spring Lounge in the 1970s and craps table used in the 1960s were even unearthed during renovations. Today, it’s also known as the Shark Bar (notice the shark on its awning) as it has a number of large stuffed sharks inside on its walls.
To view in stereo, sit 2-3 feet from the monitor and gently cross your eyes so that the two images become three. The one in the middle will be in 3d. If you are finding this difficult, you may be trying too hard. Viewing the original size is best.
