On My Way to the Post Office

there’s a building with a giant “ANTIQUES” on the back and I always wanted to take a picture of it. I finally snatched one with my cell phone today.

And every time I passed by the building, I always asked myself “Antiques? What antiques? The house or the stuff inside the house?”

What made me wonder was not the look of the building, or the word “ANTIQUES” alone. It’s the combination of the two. Yes, the house is old, the fence is broken, and the painting has faded, and yes I never saw an antique store looks shiny from outside, but does the owner of the house really have to make it look old and broken in order to sell antiques? If the appearance of the store is not appealing to me, I will shun away from it, not matter what it sells.
