And it feels like the end of an era.
Once filled with adorable blouses and skirts, the little shop is now emptying out. There are no new shipments in, and big signs everywhere saying "50% off Minden" (everything). The little store near the square that I visited 2 times a week sometimes, to get rid of spare change, is only filled with teeshirts hanging half off the hanger and clothing I've already rejected 7 times. Too-ugly dresses I don't think I would even wear to a theme party and some clothes large enough that I would be swimming in them.
I stopped in yesterday for one last look around and was able to find a pair of jeans-to-cut-into-shorts (Or "jorts"--aptly given name by Aylene) for half price. But really there is nothing left. It served me well while it lasted...But to be honest, I really would have missed this little shop after leaving.
Saying goodbye to the store and my students and my colleagues this week and next is my first step West again.
