Following on from Nigel’s litter pick of yesterday ……..
…… it seems there’s been a little sprucing up in town ………
The old Argos has been empty and an eyesore for longer than even we’ve been here. There were rumours that Poundstretcher were going to take it over when they closed last year, but I don’t think anyone really believed it. Sadly this is the way of the High Street these days.
However, the frontage has now been very artistically covered ………
……. and looks quite lovely ………
…….. it made me come over a little emotional and teary ………
….. although I would really prefer a couple more real life shops instead, not quite sure what, but a Wilko or Poundland spring to mind, or a perhaps a Grapetree or Tesco Express ……… what am I like?
The shop fronts look good. "George & Sons." My dad was George and he had three sons. Spooky, in a Derek Acorah sort of way.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Happy birthday Darrell!!! Have a great day!!!
ReplyDeleteThe artist images look great, what sort of shop is Graptree?

Oh yes the 'storefronts' are really full of nostalgia. Unfortunately so many places are losing shops - sad to see. It's the same where I live -even the large shopping centres are the same.
ReplyDeleteI had to look up Grapetree - I want one of those near me! JantheFan x
