You saw the cars. Fortunately, there appear to
be only a few. I can envision a nightmarish future
in which cars tromp through, angrily honking and
fighting for parking space. But that day, thank
heavens, isn't upon us yet.
What you also noticed were the profusion of billboards, many sponsored by the competing cellphone services. Indeed, the names of those stalwart stores, Blue Moon and Volga, are hard to find amongst the clutter.
Blue Moon still does milkshakes, still said to be the
world's best, and is run by the two sons of the owner.
There are now many new restaurants (not pictured) here.
"Moda's" are gone, replaced with tacky but weather-proof plastic chairs.
Kapoorji is now more or less retired. He's found a job
for each of his three sons, he says, so he's happy.
