What once was shall be again

The modifications are falling away, letting us see how things used to be.

Unleaded (with bonus bird)

The gas-pump soldiers stand ready. But it’s going to be a long wait since the place is out of business.

And, in the meantime, pigeons coo and swirl all around. And, in one case, get caught in the image.

Cat on the Prowl

That big cat is just clawing the place to pieces, isn’t it?

End of the Line

This used to be a fancy hotel, with conference and banquet rooms and an atrium and all that stuff. A few years ago, we spent the night there when the dust from a home renovation project got the better of us, and it was clear that it wasn’t the place we remembered. The best amenity we got then were what I called “exfoliating towels” which were made (I am almost positive) from sandpaper.

And the slide down continued, and now, here we are: it’s being demolished. No word on what’ll be taking its place.
