720 ELM STREET

 

720 ELM STREET - The garage on the corner of Elm. Owned by a simple man, liked by neighbors who brought their cars there. His demeanor a touchstone for people. His work and being something they could count on, when there was little else in the world you could. He lived around the corner in a small craftsman and still did, even though the shop closed. It all had changed, car computer codes and technical tools. His kids off to bigger lives in far away places. People would still park cars on the garage lot. Maybe expecting him to open up again. He kept fresh paint on the garage, colorful. Maybe to let people know life still flowed in him. Now just a quiet part of the neighborhood on Elm..
