Like the atmosphere with the natural and electric lighting as well as the old sign.

A superb urban dusk mood !
They surely have quality shoes and own qualities to last for such a long time...

It is wonderful they are still open with so many places folding. Superbly exposed. Nice light reflecting off the building. V

Great shot of the sign, and an interesting history as well. They must be very popular if they've lasted that long!

That's remarkable longevity in the modern greedy world of business.

Absolutely fascinating! What a great bit of information. Nice to know we saw something with this unique history. Great way to frame this and capture both the neon and the blue hour ambiance so well. ~BV~
