pic 1 - the Clock Shop. This one in the window shows the earth, all its continents, and attempts to show the present time for each spot on the planet.
 | pic 2 - Plasma center parking lot is crowded today. I can only guess that people need cash, and here is a place they are guaranteed to get it - selling their blood. | |||||||||||||
pic 3 - several 'dancer' studios like this one. Some gentlemen were
leaving as I snapped this picture - they didn't seem to care, its not
like I'm going to tell their wives or anything.
pic 4 - finally something beautiful. Several antique stores crammed with consumer items. This one, on the opposite side of the street, always catches my eye when I drive by. Walking, I can see the beauty of colored glass from days of old. The pink sugar bowl reminds me of the green one I had from my grandma.
Also, little houses which have retained their gravel driveways. Houses turned into business storefronts, but were "updated" in the 70s with stonework-of-the-time (nothing uglier than that). A few empty storefronts - like the Asian import/export shop on Stark Street - so new opportunities will occupy them.
