I like progress when it means improvements, like making things more available with a wide selection, faster, cheaper, safer, easier for people with handicaps, easier for the elderly, more sanitary, ecological or just better quality. <br /><br />From the pictures you show this "improvement" doesn't seem to have any of those things.Nomadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03686282358562565742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6043911034982163516.post-83072175692790328042010-01-22T15:46:02.498-08:002010-01-22T15:46:02.498-08:00How very sad.

I ache to be able to wander into a small, independent store to buy an single iced popsicle in a little paper cup made the night before by the shop owner, or a very fresh fish just minutes off the boat, or a $50.00 dress made with the fine tailoring now found only in $500.00 dresses.

I have similar feelings to places in Vermont I travel to, it is becoming so different from the memories I have of being there with my grandparent's. Now there are so many fancy stores and outlets. I miss the quaint old fashioned shops in the countryside.

But, I guess, with changing times always come changing ways. I've seen the same happen in Cairo over the years, but the spirit of the city lives on. So, while those cosmetic things affect us, it's the heart of the place that matters, I think. I do love the topmost photo - it's such a familiar sight in many Mediterranean cities.
