Verona Stepping Back

In the old city, not too far from our apartment we found this shop. The street was narrow, just wide enough for traffic to flow. Other passers-by also paused to take a second look. Someone had been faithful to a business created many years ago. Its shop front appears to have been unchanged for generations. Inside customers stopped to talk to the shopkeeper whilst others waited their turn to be served. A crowded shop no deterrent for polite conversation. Patience and customer service paramount. So busy we delayed our walk until the shop emptied, albeit briefly, for other shoppers were making their way to its door.
