      No real indication they’re gone.

      The last photo has a different perspective where those shops on the left would be “behind” the camera.

      As another user pointed out there is no indication they are gone.

      The thing with street and store signage on a “car oriented” street is the signage needs to be big and visible from a drivers seat at a great distance.

      When a street is taken back to “pedestrian traffic” the signage can be shrunk and be more inviting and geared towards eye level viewing.

        If you look more carefully you can see that in the oldest photo cars are parked at parking places. In the newest photos the parking places appear to have been replaced by trees. Trees which were lacking in the oldest photo.
