Do we really care what’s real? Do we even know? Memories fade, blanks get filled in, truth blurs. Maybe the way we remember things is the way they should be.

You know when a store has a “going out of business” sale, but then carries on after the sale? Well, you know it’s really over when… there’s a digger in your store and the ceiling and walls are missing. These guys really meant it when then had a store closing sale.

Why don’t we have cars like this any more? I’m not a car guy, but even I can see most modern cars look the same. Will anyone look back on your Toyota Corolla or your Mazda 3 in 60 years and say, “man, what a cool car!” I doubt it.

Nearly Gone

This house is one of the last of its kind in this part of Johnson Street and is slated for demolition. Probably that means more condos. No none is likely to mourn its demise though, but it is part of a general change in the urban landscape of this part of town.
