Wandering Words of Old Town
"Not all reunions happen after long goodbyes."
With every old shop and historic building that fades away, we're reminded of the importance of cherishing the present. From traditional stores and pawn shops to antique dealers and older residential buildings, they are gradually disappearing from public view. Yet, each enduring sign, full of character, becomes even more beautiful in the warm glow of the setting sun.
Carved stone, brass, neon, terrazzo, mosaic tiles, metal grilles, and even cement lettering adorning buildings like tattoos… each inscribes a story of an industry, becoming a part of the city's memory.
