Places we really miss. (Ridge: shop, street , radio)

[Stone28]

It been almost excatly 10 years since I left Brooklyn. Now everytime I go back I notice it's becoming less and less familar. These are a few of the places I miss....

Walts Hobby Shop......It was on 5th ave in Bay Ridge. I remember going in there and being in awe of the Train sets, the radio controll stuff, the slot cars, the models and a million other things in there that I had no clue as to what they were. That place really opened my imagination. When I drove by and noticed it was no longer there I was sad.

Sky Top Pool Hall......It was also in Bay Ridge on the corner of 5th ave and 86th street on the third floor. I did a lot of my coming of age things in there like smoking (don't worry I quit years ago.... ) and dating and some other things I won't repeat .

How about you guy's? Anybody have any places that are gone that you miss?
