There used to be a gym and a Duane Reade that have since gone out of business. I think the bank is still there. Also, that large Midas on the corner went belly up a while ago and the property is sitting idle. If you keep walking south along Flatbush you have the mini mall that has a large parking lot.

I'm starting to think the volume of cell phone stores is a Southern Brooklyn epidemic. They're just everywhere, and I can't understand how they make money. On Sheepshead Bay Road (a three block stretch) there are 6 sushi joints, at least 5 or 6 cell phone shops I can think of, several wedding shops, and a handful of pharmacies. Oh, and hair/nail salons. Between that, I'd say there are about 10 unique storefronts. That's pretty sad. The cool thing I've been noticing is that some really cool shops are opening up on side streets or avenues that really weren't known for retail shopping.

How many cellphone stores do we need? It's ridiculous. Parking is terrible at that spot so no store will be able to survive. Useless, useless, useless.
