The first time I was allowed to …
… leave our building without being accompanied by an adult I went to this shop with my older cousin on an errand for my mother.
The shopkeeper was not the man pictured. He was a jolly fellow who was normally always very pleasant to my mother and nice to me.
But that afternoon when my cousin and I showed up, he told us very gruffly not to touch anything and glowered at us like we were dangerous street urchins. One of my first experiences with adult hypocrisy.
Ah yes, the days when you could access groceries
without directly involving a vehicle.

Is it part of a duplex
Is it part of a duplex apartment @Bob Leponge? I mean like can you get to it from the apartment above like it's a second floor.
Edward Hopper
It looks like something Edward Hopper would have painted.
