This town is demolishing everything dear to me!

Hi hi------

So I've been living in the same apartment in Osaka prefecture for the past year and a half, and I am quite devastated about the current turn of events.

I went to get my weekly sushi for dinner yesterday after work only to find that my town's kaitenzushi (the fast food sushi that comes around on a conveyor belt) is currently being torn down.  It was a 5 minute walk or less from my apartment building.

Last summer, the chain izakaya (Japanese style pub) and Mister Donuts were also closed, and their building has been torn down and rebuilt with the promise of at least the donut place's return sometime this month.  It was a three minute walk from my apartment building and right next to the local train station.

At the end of August last year, the super store behind my house that basically provided all my life's needs was closed.  It was called Daiei.

I stole this picture from Wikipedia.
