Before and After

This is used to be a Shell gas station before it became what it is today. No one knows why it went under as there seems to have been a pretty good traffic.

It used to also be frequented by High School students from across the street. The station used to close its doors and let a few students in at time. I could not figure the reason; perhaps, to avoid theft.

There was never a notice telling the public that there were shutting down their doors. We just saw it closed one day then the demolition and two years later, the erection of the new building.

The beginning was like a game trying to guess who the future residents were but we soon learned. First, came Chipotle, then 7Eleven and now Cashies ice cream. Yummi!!! Oh, there is one space left.  It surely beats down a gas station.

The devastation just shows us that life is precious, life is valuable and that it can change in an instance. We should cherish it, live it and focus on what is important, brings us joy and fulfillment. Japanese people are resilient, they will soon be able to pull out of these one. Our hearts and prayers out go to those who have lost their lives and were affected by this catastrophic disaster.
