Subject: anyone know what's up with empty storefront on 1st near 7th?

the location i'm talking about is on 1st street, one door down from to the large import store that sells rugs, jewelry, VERY expensive wooden furniture on the corner of 7th Ave and 1st street; across from PS 321 and next to (on the side the import store's not on) what seems to be a now-defunct car service.

it used to advertise itself as a psychic, and for a while over the winter it appeared that it was inhabited by a family of three - parents and a little kid, plus and an oft-escaping little dog, which was not the same little dog that lives in the import store next door the name of which is escaping me. the family seemed to actually be living in the storefront.

then one day they were gone, a hole was smashed in the glass storefront window and the grate was pulled down. the inside is darkened.

does anyone know the place i'm talking about and what happened? did i imagine this whole scenario?
