We noticed the awning revamp at 6 Newkirk has finished, giving us a chance to see the neat old sign for the Newkirk Plaza Bootery at the space that’s now the [Plaza Hair Salon](http://newkirkplaza.net/mall%5Fstore%5Flist.html?ref=bklyner.com).

Besides being the Bootery, 6 Newkirk Plaza has also played home to [Waldell Hobbies](http://www.brooklynvisualheritage.org/view-above-newkirk-avenue-bmt-station-0?ref=bklyner.com) in the 1960s – when it was also near Paul’s Barber Shop (which remains to this day as [Leon’s Fantasy Cut](/blog/business/leon-celebrates-100-years-of-haircuts-on-newkirk-plaza)).
