Recession Indicators
A sign on the door
of the mom-and-pop sandwich shop:
“Thank you for 31 years of business!
This location is now closed.”
The facade crumbles
for months afterwards.
There now sits a
luxury apartment complex.
A sign on the door:
For Rent.
It is never taken down.

Great observations. Ain’t the truth scary?
I love the two depictions.
Architecture speaks volumes.
Look forward to more.
Sad but true and happens way too often. Thanks for sharing.
In such a short piece, you don’t pull your punches. Very well done!
Looked up your work after seeing your other piece, and this one is also so economical and panoramic. I can imagine it being a wonderful context piece addition to a geographically oriented monograph. Thanks for sharing it.
And also, my town feels attacked :D. jk but wow so relatable where I live.
