Plastic basket

Plastic basket window display

This display window that is filled with plastic baskets is at the rear of the dollar store.

There are 45 courses of brick visible on the left side of the window and 46 courses visible on the right side.  That does not explain why the left side seems higher than the right side.

N.B.  The interior of this store, prior to becoming this "dollar store" can be seen here.

Shady gate

Sheet metal gate in the shade

This looks like it could be anywhere, but it is not.  The dappled shade invites you in to the cool.  In the sun, it is hot.

Shiny garage door

New garage door

This new security door was installed on the garage a few days earlier.  In this relaxed view 3d photograph, the still shiny metal reflects what is across the street.
