Consequences of Covid


We were driving away from McDonalds with our ice cream cones, and while stopped at a red light I noticed this store.  I have photographed it before, because in the past it sometimes put mannequin displays out front on the sidewalk with brightly colored leggings.  That photograph was Saturday, May 12, 2017.  If you use the search function in the upper left corner and put in "Body Parts" you can find the sunny photograph of the store when it was open.  Now the store is closed, the result of the pandemic, which is a shame.  The store was small and appealed to young women, based on the clothing that I saw.  I hate the idea that a small store like this which maybe supported one or two people is gone.

Very sad that so many businesses were forced to close permanently. It was fun to look back at your photo from 2017.

It is sad that so many small businesses have had to close. Many large business are going to be closing, too. I remember the original photo with the mannequin legs dressed up outside! betsey

The pandemic might be the blame, changing fashion trends might be the blame, Jeff Bezos might be the blame or maybe something else is to be blamed. But on the bright side, another business will fill the void someday providing employment for one or more people and the sun will rise tomorrow!
