Reminders of days past

Just a quick photo I took on a walk along the 3100 block of Troost. This abandoned store front has the store's original purpose literally etched in stone -- the now-abandoned store front used to house a high-end jewelry store.  Across the street, you will note another abandoned entryway with "Goldman's" written in it.

Long gone are the days when major retailers grace neighborhood street store fronts....and we're none-the-better for it.

Sad picture. Brent, you do a fantastic job of finding great images to illustrate your point.

I'm just now reading this on May 26. It's odd that I snapped a nearly identical picture Sunday afternoon.

Thanks Kyle. It is true that pictures tell a great story in a way that is far more interesting that my writing for sure.
