Here's another iPhone picture from my series of the somewhat peculiar storefronts that dot my neighborhood. I'm really drawn to the signage of these places - they're sort of a barometer of the changes occuring in the area, going through the cycles of decay and renewal while maintaining the aesthetic of whatever era they were born into.
The crowd that usually hangs out in front of this place is about as welcoming as the "members only" warning painted on the window.

Brooklyn borough bucked tide: Class, financial issues led voters' gripes about Mayor Bloomberg
BY Jake Pearson, Mike Mcloughlin AND Elizabeth Hays
DAILY NEWS WRITERSThursday, November 5th 2009, 4:00 AM
Hagen for NewsMayor Michael Bloomberg talks to reporters as he arrives at City Hall the day after the election.Mayor Bloomberg may have squeaked out a third term across the city - but if it was up to Brooklyn voters he would have been tossed out.
In the Borough of Kings, Controller William Thompson trounced Millionaire Mike by nearly 6 percentage points, more than Bloomberg's victory margin citywide, preliminary election results show.
Bloomberg's dismal showing highlights widespread frustration in the borough - particularly among black voters - and shows that Bloomberg has his work cut out for him in his next term, voters and analysts said.
"He's not in touch with people here," said Cee Allah, 45, of Bedford-Stuyvesant - where Bloomberg lost to Thompson by a whopping 10,502 votes, the largest margin in Brooklyn.
"With Giuliani it was racial - but Bloomberg's a billionaire, so you know it's class," added Allah, an airport worker and father of three.
After Bed-Stuy - Thompson's home turf - Bloomberg's biggest losses came in Fort Greene and Prospect Heights, and in East Flatbush, Canarsie and Brownsville, all black or Caribbean strongholds.
Bloomberg also did poorly in parts of southern Brooklyn, such as Mill Basin and Bergen Beach, where he lost by 301 votes.
"The mayor has a lot of fence-mending to do," said City Councilman Lou Fidler (D-Bergen Beach), a Thompson supporter. "He has to understand the anger of people who are tired of all the rate increases."
In 2005, Bloomberg clobbered Fernando Ferrer in Brooklyn by 19 points, mirroring his citywide landslide win. But in 2001, when Bloomberg was first elected, he lost Brooklyn by 7 percentage points, while notching a 2-point win citywide.
This year, Brooklyn's tightest mayoral contest was in Sunset Park and Windsor Terrace, where Thompson won by a mere 148 votes amid an anemic 17% turnout.
Political analyst George Arzt said the tight split in the heavily Latino area shows that Bloomberg needs to focus more on minorities - especially since Bloomberg had strong Latino support in past elections.
"He needs to do more to get back where he was," said Arzt.
Alex Maldonado, 39, of Sunset Park voted for Bloomberg but said many of his neighbors pulled the lever for Thompson. "A lot people in this neighborhood are poor and Thompson understands that," he said.
Bloomberg's campaign downplayed his weak support in certain areas and said the mayor "is going to talk to Brooklynites to continue his record of progress and results."
Bloomberg's biggest support in the borough came from Sheepshead Bay and among the Jewish electorate in Borough Park and Kensington. He also did well in Republican-friendly Bay Ridge.
"He runs the city like a good business," said Bay Ridge shopkeeper Alex Voynar, 56.

I can't believe Bay Ridge is still republican...I agree with Alex that Bloomberg runs the city like a good business but That's NOT what the city needs we need the city to be run as a CITY!

Gowanus, Brooklyn has some rather interesting businesses and I've been taking pictures of many of them with my iPhone as I wander around the neighborhood. I would love to know the story behind all of them but I'm too shy to find out, so I'll just stick to taking pictures. This one's on 3rd Ave near 3rd St, a typical strip in the industrial landscape characterized by auto repair shops, large warehouses, and used car lots.
