Sign in a Window

  In the inner city, where neighborhood renewal is underway an old storefront is deserted.  The appliance repair shop went out of business.   An inverted sign saying  "open now " and an American  flag cover the window of the abandoned building.   Across the street an industrial size daycare site and a "dollar store' are under construction adjacent to the newly erected strip mall.
