When I read about DeRobertis closing in Jeremiah’s Vanishing NY<\/a>\u00a0in November of last year, I somehow was not surprised. Not because I’m a jinx and I took pics of the interior in May of that year, although – I wouldn’t recommend you letting me take pics of your new home, your wedding or newborn. It’s not because I’ve lived this never-ending Twilight Zone<\/em> episode of loss in my life that I have seemed to conveniently document through photography – it’s just inevitable.<\/p>\n

I frequently pass Richard Yee’s ghost<\/a> that still lays fallow on Avenue U and think when will this be replaced by at best, a local grocer and at worst, another Rite-Aid. We can use another good Chinese restaurant but that would be wishful thinking.<\/p>\n

And in light of the many closings of businesses that seem to be staples and undying institutions, you have to ask yourself- “What is next?”<\/p>\n

Many stores we frequent in Queens like Rudy’s Cafe in Ridgewood<\/a>\u00a0– and in Brooklyn like Three Guys on 65th Street<\/a> where we buy our fresh produce – are small businesses whose doors remain open because faithful neighborhood consumers keep them alive. If you like a business in your neighborhood and want them to remain there, shop there. That’s why we buy all of our milk and ice-cream and pastries at Lords Bakery at Flatbush Junction<\/a>, because I don’t want to see them have to close their doors. With the rising rents and pressure from mega-stores popping up almost everywhere and never-ending changing trends – the fate of the small business almost seems inevitable. Even in places that don’t seem to be in flux.<\/p>\n
