Weekly Photo Challenge: Optimistic

Oh, the Places We See — Thu, 28 Jan 2016 15:58:47 +0000

If you’re in retail, you already know that it takes a certain amount of optimism just to stay in the game. But add to that a cold December in New York City, a temporary tent, and goods that only big-city residents (not tourists) would carry home, and you have a renewed appreciation for those who remain optimistic enough to attempt selling goods outdoors in winter.

Anyone want fresh seafood from Long Island?

And someone was optimistic that a dog owner (of a big dog!!!) would want these bones. Ya never know. Put ’em out there. Somebody’ll buy ’em.

And optimism extended all the way to Chinatown. Who wouldn’t want chestnuts just so they can roast them on an open fire?
