Bricks

Very soon, one of my favorite restaurants will become this: a pile of scattered bricks.

As I said last month, one of the neighborhoods near where I live is undergoing redevelopment. Recently, some of the first buildings were knocked down.

The former shops, selling household products to "massage" services, were there one day, and then reduced to rubble in the next.

Now my favorite restaurant in the neighborhood seems to be surrounded by stacks of bricks. I went there to eat yesterday. One of the workers there told me their business has about another month before it goes like the rest. They plan on moving to a new location somewhere else. I'll just have to enjoy the restaurant while I still can.
