Chris, these are interesting captures. I see the name of one of the shops (or restaurants) is Quark Soup. What an unusual name. Thank you for your many kind and gracious words of praise.

Artist Reply: Hi Anne! Thank You so very much! Quark Soup is a Store loaded with really unusual Items! e.g. , Games, Posters, Puzzles, Gadgets, etc. . Cheers!

Looks like you had a lot of the white stuff before it mostly melted, Chris. Uh, what's that FOR SALE OR RENT sign in the window about?? :)

Artist Reply: Hi Charles! Yes, We have been walloped with snow a few times now! Also, very cold Arctic Air Masses! Polar Vortex Extremes! That sign in the Window has been there for a Year now! A Very Old Greek Couple live & work in this building! They are in there mid 70's & some! The Building is Very Old & falling apart. Nobody, seems to want to Buy or rent. This Place is always empty! Nobody, will eat there because it is so Outdated. Time will tell what will happen to this Old Building! Cheers!

Terrific photos, looks like you still have a little snow there. Ours is finally gone and the weather is beautiful here. It's sunny and going to be in the 50's today!
