山村訓長但知覓

The economy is really bad these days

There was once a fishmonger's shop. It was named 생선나라. Fitting. But it never did a thriving business and then it disappeared, to be replaced by a small eatery 자양식당.

You can tell times are bad when the new owner doesn't even bother to put up a new sign but just slaps some stickers on the old sign. And they only partially cover up the fact that he now occupies the space left vacant by the defunct 생선나라.

Oh, we have a different phone number, too. Two more stickers please.



Perhaps it's not surprising that 자양식당 didn't last too long either. I wonder if the next owner will also try the sticker trick, leaving a genealogy of out-of-business tenants to remind any passersby that this is an inauspicious spot for a business.

Comments:
No, No. The next owner will just take one of the stickers off to make it 지선 식당
