Kill Devil Hill @ 174 Franklin Ave in Greenpoint, currently features a mannequin in military fatigues drinking a cup of joe in the store’s front window.  It beckons one to head on in, and to drink in the warmth. Designed to mirror Western-style General Stores, knickknacks abound including: “a range of vintage goods, from workwear to military uniforms. Taxidermy, bones, antlers, and teeth.
