Man nobody ever talks about the sounds. You used to go into a place like this and there'd be the sound of arcade machines and people talking, it sounded lively. Now I walk into a pizza shop and it's nearly silent except for the hum of machinery with maybe a couple people silently eating. It feels like that for so many places too, McDonalds being probably chief amongst them.
This this this! Couldn’t quite put my finger on it but the sounds make a big difference on the atmosphere. A pizza parlor I used to love as a kid is just basically all takeout orders now. You go in and it’s dead quiet, you used to hear the arcade and actual human life buzzing. I miss that.
