Austin Street's Boutique for Children to Close at Month's End

Forest Hills' Boutique for Children is the latest store to close on the community's Austin Street commercial strip.

The shop, located at 71-21 Austin St., will close at the end of the month and there is currently no replacement planned for the site, the building's landlord said.

The store carries a variety of products for babies, boys and girls, including jackets, jeans, shirts, sweaters, hats, T-shirt, dresses, shoes and bags.

In recent months, a number of local shops and restaurants have closed on Austin Street, including Garcia's Mexican Cafe, Aminence, Laytner's, Perfume Globe, Bus Stop and Austin Jeans.
