This is an old, still used, drug store on our town square. I thought this sign showed us where we've been in the past 50 years.

I love the title :) This is sadly a thing of the past. Living in a small town it was the only way things use to be. The drugist would be happy to give you a few meds on your out of date/ no refill prescription on a weekend until you could see your doctor on Monday. Now new chain drug stores are filling every corner. This fits the challenge to a "T" . GREAT angle and composition. Good luck !

The neon makes me wonder what a nightshot or low light shot would look like. :)

i like this - i bet you're going to get a lot of comments that the title doesn't directly relate. i know how that goes. that just happened to me on desolation. i didnt show a 'road' in 'lonely roads', just the telephone pole sticking up from the road. believe me, it pays to be literal on this site. if you had called this 'by gone era' or something, i bet it would do better - easily.
