See my tagline below. Recently we watched a 1960ish film with Jason Robards called A Thousand Clowns (about a 40 year old guy raising his 12 year old nephew). He lived above an empty business (used to be a Chinese restaurant) and was telling a woman he liked that "anything can happen above an abandoned Chinese restaurant" (like falling in love). I don't know why---it just intrigued me.
