One more typical image of a gone past......Photoshop, inserted my miniatures into a beautiful contemporary capture!
This Italian Bakery, which specialized in bread 🍞 and biscuits baked in its coal-fired ovens was in business from 1920 -2008. Even though the #storefront facade has remained largely unchanged in appearance, the business is no longer an Italian Bakery. Photo from 2004 appears in our book "Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York". To celebrate #shopsmall for Saturday, November 25th and for Black Friday tomorrow, we are releasing 11x 14 inch signed prints of this photo for $99 with free standard shipping to anywhere in the continental U.S. Please DM or email us at jandkphoto@att.net to order.
During my walk at Moheshkhali, Chittagong i found some unique lifestyle going on around me. Apart from the fishermen class there are some people who's business is to run a shopping store in the village. The store is ran by the family members - no matter how young they are. They work together for it and thus it became a part of their life. This little fellow is also a member of his family. The Store is his home...and the tiny narrow space in front of this structure is his play-field. While he plays with utmost concentration in front of the store his elder brother is busy seating in the counter and maintaining the business sales....the father is roaming around the perimeter - supervising if everything is in order. This life is unique....truly its is a Storefront Life

When we took this #analog photo for our book “Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York” there was still a very large population of Polish immigrants living in the neighborhood. According to the 1990 U.S. Census, 80% of the area’s residents were Polish 🇵🇱 and many stores and restaurants catered to the population. Since 2005, when 175 blocks in the largely industrial area were rezoned to bring in new residential construction, the neighborhood has been undergoing gentrification due largely to a boom in construction.
Ideal Dinettes on Knickerbocker Avenue in Bushwick, Brooklyn was founded in 1953 when the neighborhood was still had a huge Italian population with many large extended families living in the same household. As Bushwick underwent gentrification in the 2000s, business declined as families moved out of the area and there was less of a need for large “dinette” sets, coupled with the fact that the second-generation owners were getting older and they decided to close their shop in 2008. The saddest part of this story is that the owners knew that we were huge fans of the gorgeous neon sign and before they closed the shop, asked if we wanted to keep it. We live in a small studio in the East Village and could not possibly fit the large sign inside our apartment, let alone carry it up the necessary stairs to our floor so we had to decline their offer. This was before we were active on social media (we didn’t start our Instagram account until 2014) and did not have the large network of friends and followers that we now have and surely now would easily be able to find a great home for this neon sign and the signage ended up being heaped into a dumpster. Our film photo from 2004 and interview with the 2nd-generation owners of Ideal Dinettes appears in our book “Store Front II- A History Preserved”.

A cinematically-toned storefront at night.
Avondale Estates, Georgia, USA.
8 February 2020.
...but with NO orange and teal toning post-processing. The image (with a couple of tweaks) is just as it was on that misty night.

CSS #2004 heads east down 11th Street passing the South Shore's historic station, closed in 1987.
The depot was built by Insull's Chicago, South Shore, and South Bend in 1927, with its frontage on 11th Street. Until its closure, the station served as a CSS&SB depot and bus terminal. It must've been a busy place during its heyday.
At the Sing Chong Food Centre on Keefer Street. I'd framed up a shot of the empty store and just as I pressed the shutter one of the butchers came out of a back room. What I noticed last Sunday on a walk through Chinatown was a lack of customers either on foot or by automobile. Now we are well into November and Covid cases are on the rise everywhere, people are probably just staying closer to home. The usually bustling Keefer Street was pretty empty so I was able to take my time photographing the shops along the street.
Today is National Buttermilk Biscuit Day and it got us thinking about this staple of Southern comfort food, which led us to find our photo of Big George’s Soul Food Plus in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. We loved the handpainted signage this unassuming spot had including the depictions of barbecued 🍗 chicken, ribs,fish and burger 🍔 and fries and Big George wearing a chef hat. Let us know if you remember this long-departed soul food restaurant.

Waverly Restaurant was founded in 1979 by Nick Serafis and is now run by the 2nd-generation family members. We love its #neon #signage and the fact that this #momandpop diner 🍔 🍳 is open 24 hours a day.

With many people planning on viewing the total solar eclipse today, we are highlighting Eclipse Records - Tapes which was in Paterson, New Jersey. Sadly it did not stay in business long enough to witness the Great North American Eclipse of 2024, but we did find out that on January 24, 1925, Paterson was in the path of totality for a solar eclipse. The total eclipse lasted for 2 hours, 30 minutes and at 9:10 a.m. was at its peak when the moon completely covered the sun.

Let us know if you remember this vinyl record store which if it was still open may be playing “Total Eclipse of the Heart” by Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler.

Storefront with faded Christmas paper in the windows. See earlier image in my photostream where the paper had just been put up. Easton, PA - Canon EOS 7D.
In the past decade, we have noticed quite a number of shoe repair shops in New York City have closed. We wondered if it was mostly due to high rent increases, but a few shoemakers have told us “that business has declined because many people now purchase cheap “throw away” shoes made of plastic and don’t need or want to spend money on repairing them as they can just buy a new pair.”
