It's a shame to see stores go out of business, and the resultant lack of care of the site, but you've made it look good in this photo, Michelle #1533756

Excellent work, but agree it's a sad sight! #10745296

Trash will be our cultures legacy. Independent small businesses are have problems surviving. You will also see the demise of independent solo practicing physicians very soon as well. I am a dinosaur and dying breed of physician as well but hanging in so far. #10745481

Sad but still a great shot! Those wavy lines of the gate give this a surreal look! #10745527

A sad sight that's for sure Michelle! Not all the changes in our world are for the better! A wonderful story telling capture! #10745693

Great find and composition Michelle, it truly is a shame when you come across a famous old landmark such as this knowing how it must have been to shop there during its prime. #10746799
