The Disappearance of Mom and Pop Shops in Brooklyn

Posted on February 6, 2007 by

Collectively we have noticed the disappearance of mom and pop stores, which are replaced by chain stores such as in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The old Meserole Theater was replaced by an Eckerd Drugstore. We feel that it takes away from the character and individuality that Brooklyn once encompassed. This is happening all over the world. In Paris, similar things have happened. Parisians have tried to hinder the influx of chain stores on the famed Champs-Elysees. Here is a link to the article: Paris

    Champs-Elysees is definitely a Tacky Tourist Trap crammed with highend and chain stores (Virgin megastore)..but so is Times Square (Which unlike Champs-Elysees is littered with Billboards)…Anyways, It’s sad to see so many stores go, where the owners know you by name 🙁
