The End of the Beginning for One, The Beginning of the End for the Other

Two old classics going in opposite directions. The car passed smog and will soon be registered. The store behind it, which was never really a store, is being liquidated. The owner is (reportedly) now unable to manage his own affairs and his heirs have taken control of the property.

Note the antique guns and ornate counters are already gone--replaced in part by the large table with piles of soon-to-be-gone treasures.
