massive Corner Store

A weathered two-story corner store building with boarded windows and overgrown grass, situated at an intersection with a yellow two-way traffic sign, utility poles, and power lines overhead.

This Corner Store was functioning before Katrina, and was looted during or after the storm. It's in an area of uptown New Orleans that has very little resources as far as groceries and such.

This place sits and decays.......
