My Grandmother Hogan used to have a little shop before I was born

It was on the way to the beach if you were coming up the shore

It was a nice little spot with table and chairs

Almost like a hangout for teens and their peers

I remember playing in there a few times when I was small

I loved the old Coca Cola Posters on the walls

The pastel colors and even the smell

To this day I still catch a hint of it in a random stairwell

I wish I could have experienced ‘The Shop’ as others did

But glad to have at least seen it and enjoy stories from people as kids

The house is now my Aunts little cottage ‘Around the Bay’

So glad it’s still there to this day~
