    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    I guess it is no longer a record store?

    There's a building near me with a painted sign on the wall for 'Hercules - The Modern Cycle'. Still readable although quite faded now.

    It's the sort of shot I would have taken to test the resolution/contrast of a lens and/or the resolution and lack of grain of a particular film stock.

    There are so many of these old record shops in the US. I make a point of visiting this place when I am in the area. Knowledgeable staff and good prices. Lot's of US versions of British artists.

    There is an old butcher shop near me whose sign reads: "Pleased to meet you. Meat to please you".
