the best building in town (twice)

feels like desperation
I could feel the owner’s increasing desperation as I read the signs painted on the windows at this abandoned place.

I am led to believe that “normal” people would just drive right by this place and not even stop.
I’m glad I do not qualify as “normal.”
(But to be fair, normal people make a three hour trip in, you know, three hours. If you know what I mean.)

If you need a sofa
Maybe, after all these stay-at-home months, you’ve gotten weary of your place. And maybe you’re thinking a change in furnishings might be just what you need to lift your spirits. And maybe you’re thinking specifically of acquiring a different sofa.
If this sounds like you, please get in touch: I know where you can find one.
