I then looked a little higher and could see the outline of the letters that had once formed the store name.

Sadly this store would have been able to sell the people on the streets the bikes that they need. The tools to fix them and not have to tie them with rope or rubber.

But that store was taken when Castro took over. He " Spread the Wealth ". I also happened to notice that the people that work in government have nice clothes, Not uniforms like most employees but VERY nice clothes. Armani etc..

The schools are GREAT and no one goes without an education. Medical is great. when they have the tools to treat you. Wonderful thing this socialism

By the way. I was able to read that the store had once been a Sears.
And yet here... the Sears stores remain open so you can get bike parts & tools.
But our education is nearly flat lined, and millions can't afford health care.
So at least we have functioning bicycles to ride while we look for minimum wage jobs because our education system failed us and we can't afford a functioning car.
