Once a Corner Grocery Store (2)

now a Starbucks (on Commercial Drive)

before supermarkets Vancouver had many, many little corner grocery stores in every neighbourhood (the entrance door being on the corner) .... some still remain, but many have been converted to other stores, cafes, art galleries and living quarters - I love them as they take away from the impersonality of the big stores.

The times, they are a-changing...
And as we're marching on through time,
cities are losing their identities to corporations.
Yet still we say we're living in the best
of all possible worlds?
Great picture - hats off!

The owner makes a profit and retires or joins Starbucks. Which ever way the corner markets are being beaten to death by the super super markets.

starbucks taking over the old corner store… nope, we're not in kansas anymore but on commercial drive! ; ) but at least they preserved the beautiful old mosaic of the facade, so that one can still imagine what the old has-been grocery looked like… another great capture and documentary of placid and social city-life inexorably fading away… hugs, sabine.

Ja, starbucks sieht man auch bei uns immer mehr! Die breite, durchsichtige Türe wirkt sehr einladend - und wenn einem dann noch Kaffeeduft in die Nase steigt, dann wird sicher mancher Kaffeeliebhaber schwach! Die Fassade mit den feinen und proper wirkenden Fliesen vermittelt (für mich) Sauberkeit...

LG! a.

Preciosa imagen nocturna del comercio en el chaflán, buen control de la luz y el color y buena ambientación callejera.
Un abrazo.

Starbucks ist auch bei uns an jeder Ecke - alle Städte sehen inzwischen durch diese Ketten fast gleich aus :-(
Herzlich grüßt
