I can't remember it but it is 20 years since I lived there. It may have closed owing to the 'type' of people attending and what they got up to!Adullamitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15537659871829290071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-32526232255996002982012-05-25T07:00:17.819+01:002012-05-25T07:00:17.819+01:00Good eye, Lynne!

There was another vacant store in between them, intriguingly named "Lee's Pots," but I couldn't photograph it because I would have had to stand in the middle of traffic!<br /><br />Elizabeth -- I also like the silly faces in the window of the last one. They're a bit hard to see, but they have these big goofy grins. I think Tico's must have been an ice cream parlor or candy shop or some such.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-18965311804430526062012-05-25T02:11:03.738+01:002012-05-25T02:11:03.738+01:00I had no idea that was what a "Moonraker"...I had no idea that was what a "Moonraker" was. Like you, to me it was a James Bond movie. Fascinating. <br /><br />I saw similar "ornamentation" (if that is indeed the correct terminology) between the two sites painted blue. The tops are the same! How close were these two shops? (Closing Down Sale and Lily's)? <br /><br />It really makes you wonder what happened and why they closed.Lynnehttp://www.rickandlynne.com/lynnenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-29240360614265643522012-05-25T00:49:22.063+01:002012-05-25T00:49:22.063+01:00These are haunting and beautiful.

I stopped scrolling and really gazed at it for a while, appreciating the person to the left and the weird, decrepit door on the right.<br /><br />I love your eye!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.com
