When I first came to live in Jerusalem there was this famous pizza place in the downtown where it was there so many years. It also had a bulletin board where people could leave messages. When it finally was gone it was very very sad.
Is there where you live a special place that is gone and you miss it?

Well I have a contract for another year to stay here and he mentioned that he will raise the rent next year so looks like we can stay next year too. It is a good area for me and a place for my scooter and has what I have been looking for. Just the bad part is a very bad person lives above us and someone I do not like across from us.

@Hannihar. True,. The once peaceful community became a crowded place.. and already prone to thieves..

Yes several. When I was growing up, I used to walk to a local library. When I was in the eighth grade (I think), they moved to another street. Also we had a Kmart which I used to love to go to when I was little, and Kmart went out of business now. And I also loved JcPenney, another store, and it went out of business.

I am sorry all that happened. It is not fun when places you like close then you have to find new places and start all over again.

I miss places that were once so beautiful with lots of trees and flowers, but now it became an urban jungle.

Things are built and torn down here frequently.

Things are always changing around here. Businesses come and go all the time. One place opens and another place closes.

I understand what you are saying. I go to town and see a business there and then came back to town and see something new there. I also see lots of changes all the time too.

So so true. Some changes I welcome and others I wonder about . Like having two shoe stores close by or side by side and two clothing stores close or across from each other or side by side.
