As the sun began to set on an usually bright February day in the West Village, a steady procession of middle-age men hoping to buy a smoke came up to the entrance of Village Cigars, yanked on the door handle, and found it locked. One after another, each man peered in through the glass storefront at the stripped shelves and empty display cabinets. “This is very disturbing,” said Sean, a 53-year-old regular who has been coming to the store on Seventh Avenue since 1998. “I didn’t even know they were closing.”

I went to a small shop in the historic district of the city yesterday. It was a gallery of Indigenous American art. It was so very out of my price range, but everything was so beautiful. The best was that they had 2 dogs that greeted me at the door. Great store!

Trebygninger med tegltak, Bryggen, Bergen, 1976.
Thanks to its designation as a UNESCO World Heritage district, the physical fabric of Bryggen has not changed much in the past almost half century. There is much more commerce catering to tourism, however. See my photos of the district taken in September 2023 and tagged bryggen.
