If memory serves me correct between the time that the Mini closed it’s doors for good and became a church, it was home to the Uniondale or nassau County school book depository.
Now I’m sure you all remember going to the Klimczuk’s (sic?) house at Christmas time to see the massively gaudy display of Christmas cheer! Remember?… just about a hundred yards or so west of the Mini.
Anyway I’ll never forget the display of “The Black Madonna and Child” which later on (late 80’s) turned into the P.C. “African American Madonna and Child”! Whatta' rip! I wet my pants laughing when I saw that. And then there was that crazy antique Mickey Mouse doll on the tricycle…
But alas, all good things must come to an end. I believe the old man kicked and the kids didn’t have the gumption to continue the tradition and sold the house. Makes me wonder what happened to all that stuff…
