Title: 'When World's Collide' Part 1'

This was actually based on a real store on State Street, Santa Barbara. But it could take place anywhere really. It is the swan song of a world that is slowly dying. Replaced by big box stores, franchises, and fast food giants. The owner 'Ernie,' looks on in growing recognition of his own inevitable fate. Sign in the background reads 'No Shoes, No Shirt , No Service.'
