Shadow Shot: Downtown

Downtown buildings,
lovely vintage architecture,
hoping for renewal of shopping.
Done in by cookie-cutter malls.
Hope springs eternal by the council.
Dreaming of ways to draw
the retailers once more.
Vintage people like myself
picture themselves walking and greeting
in a more relaxed venue.

I like this photo. Has a sense of mystery about it. There is a city not too far from me with similar feel. I don't "do" malls. I might visit one every couple years only of necessity. I hate to see shopping plazas go up, because I see their impending death 20 years later-vacant and unwanted as people push to the next best thing. Maybe they'll push back to these this time.

Susan,
I wish they would; I hate going to the mall. Most products are overpriced.

The first step of unpacking was my taking down boxes that were five and six boxes high.  About two weeks after I’d moved and was in the midst of unpacking, I developed horrendous pain in my ribs. I slathered on my gel I use to alleviate Fibromyalgia pain. Realizing that even that was not helping. Trying to make a long story short- Asked for pain pills No help; asked for another kind Doctor wanted to see me Went in- he didn’t understand why I was still in pain Sent me to get x-rays Diagnosis: compressed fracture in my 9th vertebra Cause: osteporosis Now on meds for that I’ve discovered that anytime I overdo, pain comes back, not quite full-blown, but enough that I must stop doing whatever I’m doing. That includes sitting at my computer writing. I wanted to bring my friends up-to-date; I’m pondering whether I should stop blogging altogether o

Quirky Poem

Have humans sat here? Not recently, I think. Perhaps a snow couple rested for a while, and the shadowy remnants of them remain. more Cool Clicks
