Closed

When we got back from our Christmas trip to Berlin, our corner store was closed. "Just for the January holiday," we hoped.

But it's February and the padlock is still on the door. There are several other little stores nearby, but they all require crossing busy roads, so no more sending Isaac and Eleanor by themselves to pick up an egg or a kilo of apples.

I guess small businesses everywhere struggle, but we're sad to lose this particular one.
