What stores do you miss??
I miss BOB'S. I think that was the name of it. It was a clothing store. I think it was Bob's Discount Clothing? It was around maybe 10 years ago?
I also miss Steve and Barry's. Such a great place to get cheap tshirts and hoodies.

Au Coton
I still mourn that store. 50% of my 7th grade wardrobe was from Au Coton. I loved grabbing a pin from the bin on the counter to match my purchases.

Stein Mart. The only 1 in NY closed a few years ago. I'm getting upset just thinking about it!
I just found this post by accident- but there is a Steinmart coming to Commack

Not fashion, but I miss Tower Records terribly.
I cried when they went out of business. So many memories there. Really the only chain music store where the staff actually knew their shit when it came to music.
I was walking around Dublin a few weeks ago and turned a corner and THERE WAS A TOWER RECORDS. I nearly got run over because I became a hot, frazzled mess and forgot about the whole 'driving on the other side of the road' thing. I spent way too much time in there perusing everything. The signs were the same as they were here...same color schemes...I spoke with the guys at the register and a) just like Tower was here in the US, those guys were well-schooled in music and b) they were so polite and told me that Americans come in there all the time and are nostalgic like I was.
I bought a tee shirt there (so there, this is fashion-related) and have worn it a few times...each time, someone asks me something about it. 
They gave me two shopping bags for it...paper and plastic. HAHA. That's because I told them that I still had my last little yellow and red Tower Records shopping bag folded away in a box of memories.
I miss Tower too. I loved hanging there at night! I was a regular at the Carle Place location. I felt like the other locations (Hunt Sta & Massapequa) didn't have as much when it came to stock.
Although I was called "Sam Goody" back in college.

OMG off-topic but I have a memory-lane nostalgic moment with that store!!!! That's where I was when my brother called me on the phone to tell me he got the much better, much safer (or so we thought, but whatever) police job and didn't have to work in NYPD anymore (he was in the murder capital there) so I started crying in Icing LMAO because I was so relieved. We used to worry about him so much!! And it was like he called me and said he had won the lottery. I had to explain to the people in the store with me and they all applauded. He was mortified on the other end of the phone.
