Homer stared out the passenger window as the old pickup slowly drove along. " This is Main Street? he asked as he noticed empty store after empty store.
" It used to be a very vibrant part of town" Louis replied as he stopped at a red light. He pointed toward several boarded up stores. " That used to be a barber shop and that used to be a drug store".
" What happened?".
" Hardly any of the young people stayed after high school" he said with sadness in his voice. " It was sad to see".
The light turned green.
" Oh Homer" he said as he turned right onto a side street. " Would you like to say hi to one of the few remaining tenants".
" Sure".
Louis eased the pickup into the parking stall and turned off the engine.
Homer stared at the sign above the front door and dread spread within.



Everyone take care. Love Ric.
