There's a small side street near where I live that is constantly changing. Pretty much every time I walk down it, there's something new to note.

It's a mostly residential street, with lots of small shops on the ground floor. Over the past few years, I've seen a lot come and go - people seem to set up shop, hang around for six months or so and then close their doors. And then someone else will come along with a new idea, throw on a fresh coat of paint, and the cycle repeats itself.

It's especially noticeable now that everyone's off on their August vacation - the workmen have moved in and are getting the new stores ready for la rentree.

Which is why I found this little hole so lovely. It just seemed so fitting for what happens in this street. All the layers people keep piling on. It left me wondering what else could be hidden behind all that paint. And about what all that street has seen over the years...
