Another photo I've found from our 2020 lockdown, hardly anyone around the streets, the odd car here and there but deathly quiet.
Linking up with Weekend Reflections and The Weekend Roundup.

I thought it used to be one dollar shop
We have gold coin shop (cos our 1 dollar and 2 dollars are gold coins) or the $2 shop
The Dollarama is the most wide spread of them here, but there are a couple of others.
I went into the city to pick up food from a restaurant and other than the vax centre queue, that was it....#WeekendReflection
...dollar stores sure have become popular. I remember as a kid there were 5 and dimes, look what inflation can do!
Eerie.
It was the same here in the first lockdown.
We just call it the dollar store although most things cost more than a dollar.
Like Tom, I too remember the "Five and Dime" stores. Now we have "Dollar Stores" and "99c Stores" here in Texas. Oh yes, a "5$ or Less Store" chain.
Your window Reflections shot is really good.

Dollar stores are everywhere these days. Sad to see the empty streets.
I so love the verandahs over the streets. I'm currently in one of the most intensely sunny and hot countries in Europe and they don't routinely shelter their pavements from sun!
Ghost towns everywhere. And then you see soccer-fans partying without masks, close to each other... we will go back and forth like that.
Lett us hope those days are behind us. Have a lovely weekend and week ahead.
I remember those days well. It was strange to see so many places that are normally busy with no one in sight.
