Almost A Century Shop

I chance upon this notice a few days ago. I’ve been to this shop once, a few months back, where it was selling quite a large number of pastries and sandwiches. I had no idea how old the shop was at that time.

I noticed it was not upon recently so I went closer. I thought it was a temporary closure notice or they’ve moved to another location. Instead it showed this sign: saying it has now closed, after 94 years of operation. That’s crazy; having a business running for a few years is already hard, imagine running it for almost a century!

As a normal human being, I was a bit sad of the shop closing and me not going there more often, but that’s just being nostalgic and irrational. If the shop was still operating today and I knew about its age, I would have not patron it still. At least not as much as what my nostalgic feeling is making me feel right now.

Typical human: only realising or missing something that is gone

Thank you for reading.
