The corner of Main and Dallas is empty late on a Sunday evening. Its eerily silent aside from the occasional person whirring by on a rented scooter and piercing the soundless night. The corner is occupied by a building that use to house the two story Forever 21 but, since the store s closure, has sat unused for the last couple of years. The space, usually well-lit but empty, is a little dimmer than usual but the silhouettes of a few people can be seen moving around through the windows that wrap around the structure.
“This use to be a clothing store,” exclaims one of the men while he directs others moving boxes around the space before he sighs and explains the lack of light. “I’m keeping the lights low so people can’t see everything we have going on in here…and so we can keep the light bill low!”
