Shakib


 * Shakib** is a linen store located at 85-19 Jamaica Avenue, on the corner of 86th Street and Jamaica Avenue. Formerly the site of Rubie's Fun House, Shakib sells bedroom accessories, linens, curtains, etc. Famous for having numerous "going out of business" sales, it appears that Shakib has, indeed, finally closed for good. Although the front window still has products on display, the gates have been down for quite a while. **__Update__**: Never mind -- it's open again.



Long ago, before Rubie's, this corner lot was the location of R.A. Brown's, a store that advertised Blankets and Linens. The more things change. ..
