For months a sign in the window in the former Gage & Tollner building in Downtown Brooklyn announced that Amy Ruth’s, the Harlem soul food eatery, was opening a branch there. But the Brooklyn Paper reported that another sign appeared Friday, this one announcing that city marshals had seized the property for the landlord, which happens usually because rent hasn’t been paid. Meanwhile, the Post reported that Joseph Chirico, Gage & Tollner’s head honcho until the building was sold and he closed up shop in 2004, might be searching to reopen the restaurant. Someone should let him know there might be a vacancy on Fulton Street.
