Happy * 3
Really, who wouldn’t want to purchase their fireworks from someplace that is this enthusiastic?

Seasonal Commerce
I like fireworks stands, probably because they’re closed almost all year. There’s something endearing about them, sort of hopeful, and patient while they wait for those few days each year when they can do some business.

Not even new releases could save it
It seems so archaic, thinking back on our old Friday night ritual of going to Blockbuster to try to find a movie to rent. One we’d both agree on. One we hadn’t already seen. One that was still on the shelf.
So it came down to this.

Pull
It was a nice afternoon – warm and sunny with no wind to speak of. So naturally my thoughts turned to, well, abandonment.
I headed over to look at a store called Savers, which I’d heard was going out of business. When I got there, I knew right away that I couldn’t get the shots I wanted because it was next door to a Dollar Genera (or a Family Dollar – who can tell them apart?), so there were too many cars and people around.
Lucky for me, though, I was close to a shopping center that had some vacancies.
