We wondered where the lovely quilt shop had gone. This whole strip of stores was woebegone.
Up the road to the side was another mural, this time looking more like a clock...but how does it really work?
Another
empty store building...what a lovely setting, and why have all these
stores dried up? My friend wanted to see A Touch of Cass...ATOC. At
least it had a new address which we could chase down. (more later)

Hi Tomas, so glad you visited and like the quote.
DeleteBurnsville is a lovely little town -- I teach there occasionally and they have a terrific book festival. It's sad a bout the quilt shop...
ReplyDeleteSince I've got my head in pottery all the time, I didn't know about the book festival. When is it? At least we have a great quilt shop here in Black Mountain. I am sorry that the one in Burnsville is gone.
DeleteBarbara -- Nice quaint town. Perhaps the tail-end of the recession economy hurt these little shops. I've seen a bit of shops closing in this area. -- barbara
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara...I felt the shops being closed might be related to the recession, and it's a real shame these shops are all empty right on the same corner of the square. The restaurant did a good business next door to the last empty shop. I will show you some more shops that are doing well in my next post.
