I looks like the business has been abandoned. The 'y' not visible in the sign, blinds askew and just that lonely feeling. Great!

Parece que este abandonada, con esas persianas que solo dejan entrar unos pequeños rayos de luz a traves de las ventanas, buen trabajo.
Saludos.

When I see an abandoned, maintaining house, I think of your images. And when I try to photograph it, nothing takes place.... So many mysteries in Kansas City....

That little patch of decay in the tiles says it all (to me). It's always those little details in your photos.

The askew sign, the gaps in the blinds, and the general sense of abandonment makes this a strong image.
I like the blocks created by your selections in the scene. Fine picture.

The service league seems to have a very spotty exterior - I agree with GJC about the details in your images - for example the bit of cut off right bottom corner which is a terrific touch and the odd way it corresponds to the blotch of missing tiles.

Need a little community service on that wall. Of course the deterioration adds to the visual interest of the shot. Everythin kind of out of vertical. well done.

Mosaic tile...now that's different. Nice capture.

Hmm, they must have donated all the building materials to the community, they should ask for some of those mosaic tiles back. Interesting find (aluminum+mosaic tiles+brick)!!!
