Bitter

I walked around the corner and paused when I saw the coffee shop closed and boarded up.

Now, I understand that capitalism is horrible and such, and that having businesses close is part of that. I don't blame the owners, I assume, for having to close up for whatever reason. 

But this was where I found the joys of coffee, where I met my wife, where I proposed to her. And now it was closed, and was set to become a Gentleman's Club, according to the signs in the windows.

So I guess it wasn't a complete loss overall, really.
