I believe what I personally find so disturbing about these photographs is that so many small and diverse businesses’ that once existed are now gone and only the remnants of their faded signage remain.
Even if employment opportunities declined the people or fabric of the neighborhood must still be somewhat intact so was it purely economics that closed these places or did the owners just simply give-in to urban blight?
