I thought it was a temporary closure notice or they\u2019ve moved to another location. Instead it showed this sign: saying it has now closed, after 94 years of operation. That\u2019s crazy; having a business running for a few years is already hard, imagine running it for almost a century!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a normal human being, I was a bit sad of the shop closing and me not going there more often, but that\u2019s 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typical human: only realising or missing something that is gone   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for reading. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I chance upon this notice a few days ago.
