Empty in Glen Cove: Former Blockbuster Video

Former video retailer and costume store stands vacant.

The building at 69 Forest Avenue has sat empty since a Halloween costume store closed in November after its season ended.

Before that it was a Blockbuster Video for years. That closed after the chain filed for bankruptcy in 2010 and announced it was closing many of its locations. 

The site had been a gas station prior to that.
