This is one of the buildings in downtown Milford and taken a few months ago and in the time since I took this photo it alll has changed.
The Haircraft hair salon which used to be the one my wife went to, closed up and is now a popcorn store, I used to like when my wife went there I would drop her off and then park downtown and go for a photo stroll, she has found a new location to get her hair done but its not in such a nice area for taking a stroll and shooting photos.
The Subway store closed a couple of weeks ago, and is now vacant, on a side note Subway headquarters is here in Milford CT, and this is actually the third Subway store that opened.

What hasn't changed is what is above these two stores, it is the location where Dan Patrick does his broadcasts, if you a big sports fan you may have heard of him, apparently he is quite popular and a few big sports stars have visited the city to be on his show.

This horse head is on the end of the Green, I guess it is some sort of hitching post, but these days doesnt get much use, not even at the Christmas Festival in the area where that have horse and carriage rides around the green.

This final shot if the Stionebridge Restaurant, a very popular place downtown, the times we have eaten in the restaurant the food is excellent, and they also have an outdoor bar during summer where they have live music on weekends that gets really crowded and rocking.

Thanks for your visit and support Have a great day

The monochrome of these places fit the sort of sadness that has crept into small downtown areas and high streets in American since the 80's and the big box store's arrival. Now, of course, the big box store will eventually leave being replaced by one local warehouse where the items we order online will be sent from. I wonder if that will lead to a resurgence of our high streets or just MORE but larger buildings going vacant.

Lovely shots @tattoodjay I like the stone horse head, I wonder how many horses were actually tied to it in its day?

I often wonder the same about the horses tied up there, and yes it is a change that OK may be convenient to go to a big mall or now order online, but such a shame to see so many empty stores these days
