Visit

We walked into the heart of the old neighborhood this afternoon, where for the most part she grew up.

Neither of us knew what to think. She last lived there 11 years ago, and this was her first time back.  Many things had changed, some remained the same.

She saw that 23rd Ave. Books was now a beauty shop called "Pinky's."

She was disappointed about that.  Perhaps it is my fault.  I introduced her to books, as did her mother. The day was a little sad in the pinkish light, in the absence of one of her favorite stores.
