I love this ramshackle looking old bait store in Melbourne Beach, Florida; hand written signs, American flag, and all. It's out close to a park on the beach, on what is becoming a more and more fancy area.
Places like this are disappearing very, very fast around here.
As this area of Florida gets more and more upscale, the property taxes usually get impossibly high for the small guys like this in the end and they sell their place, only to have the new owners bulldoze it and put up something else, with more glitz and glamor.
Fancy isn't necessarily an improvement.

Cool shot! Too bad they are disappearing, that's the price of progress and development.
Sigh ... another casualty of progress.
It seems that many, too many, small businesses are disappearing. Certainly our loss!
Full of character - great shot!
