    Storekeeper has a last message for absent customers: F U

    By spiffy  |  Posted March 10, 2009  |  Los Angeles, California
     

     

    Yesterday I was driving along Ventura Blvd. in the San Fernando Valley and I saw another closed down store. A common scene of  economic dilapidation. Some faded furniture was strewn about the front display area. I wondered why no one had jumped the fence and stolen that stuff yet.

     

    Suddenly my eye tracked up and I saw the message “F  U “ made out of some kind of tape. This send off is sad and funny all at once; the parting shot of a business owner who never saw these hard times coming.

     

     

    I think the full sign once said FURNITURE.
