There was a weird storefront near my house a number of years back, with front windows covered over with paper so you couldn't see inside. Up above on a display shelf was an inflatable snake, about 3 ft. long, and a wooden dove. It was freaky. I peeped thru a hole in the door once and inside the air conditioner was running and I saw tables and chairs and a coke machine. Empty as hell though. Actually I think it was a private night club, pretty common here, but I liked to pretend it was the meeting place of a terrible and secret society of voodoo wizard. I still think the snake and dove were kinda weird.
Saturday Night Live had a running gag about the shopping mall with the Scotch Tape Shop. Nothing but tape.
There is a place like that by me....the facade made me think it looked like an old bar with the sign painted over. And there were strange bric a brac objects in the windows cases, however one couldn't see in because the backs of the cases were covered in anchient christmas paper. I walked up to the door and tried to open it because I heard noises but it was locked.....somehow I managed to peek through some hole (I was very determined) and saw a very large bar with an old tv on a metal stand at the very back facing me. It had one of those giant antannea and it was on.
No person in sight though.
The place was filled with antiques...there was even a mezzanine with old chairs and paintings hanging off of the railing. But I saw no one....and every time I pass by hoping to get in since the gates been down.
