Out With The Old

The face of my neighborhood is changing. In the past year, established businesses have closd. Buildings are being taken down and new ones erected. Within a one mile radius, the landscape has changed. Pathmark is becoming Stew Leonards. Mr Donut will be Arby's. Checkers will be an unknown business. A gas station will be a 7-11. If I moved away and returned for a visit, I would be stunned. As the saying goes, "Out with the old and in with the new".
