It’s fascinating how everything that makes the spot charming seems to have been destroyed. Of course, we don’t see the store itself in the newer picture (though what we see is not promising), but the decorations on the neighbouring shop has also been replaced with yellow bricks, and what used to be a covered hole available as sidewalk is now a gaping hole with a fence around it.

Of course it’s not the fault of the store owners - they are just trying to survive. But something went wrong somewhere along the way.
