How many people out there remember the ladies clothing store Vicki Lane's? I think it was between 158th and 159th Avenue. I do remember that she always employed some of the prettiest girls from the neighborhood that I always had a crush on. Stores like Vicki Lane's disappeared with the opening of Queens Center and Kings Plaza. I guess she couldn't make a profit after that. What year did the store finally close its doors??

There was also a place called Smarty Pants on the Blvd.
