I agree with ferdy. And to think he booted all those people out of their happy little village -- for this. THAT'S sad.

Was it vandals or just time that took out the glass? That gate looks so rusty, you'd almost think you could walk right through it without meeting any resistance.

You certainly know how to frame a picture, Motts. I'd so love to stroll along here. What could they have been selling in these shops that would lure me away from that beautiful view?

I like the lighting....gives it a mellow glow. He had big ideas for everything.

It isn't hard to imagine that place bustling with people. Sad it never materialized.

This reminds me of the picture of the python and the alligator trying to eat each other. Nobody won.

The minaret seems so out of place in there. Quite interesting architecture!

Interesting effect with the clouds. It suggests not only motion, but time passing as well. No need to bother fixing the place up; just brew up some cappuccino, arrange a few umbrella tables, and I'll be there.

Thank you for the great history on this place and the "before" pictures. We are lucky you got there on a Sunday!

Can you imagine having to drag yourself to work there every day? What a hardship to have to look at that view (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)!

Thanks for an outstanding new gallery!

Those mountains in the background remind me of West Virginia.

Very surreal.

So this was the first strip mall?

Love the rust patina. Too bad idiot vandals took out the windows.
