Even as Brooklyn property prices soar, and the borough's demographics shift, with an influx of wealthy buyers from over the river, and the burgeoning neighborhood expansion of newer immigrant populations, you can still find corridors that time has touched lightly. Borough Park, bound by its self-contained Orthodox habits, offers an extreme example, and walking there you might think yourself transported back to the 50s.

The "We Have Lift Chairs" nods to an older clientele.
Some nice hand-painted features on this store-sign.
