From Jack & Sarah H.: "The streets of Christiansted, St. Croix, were usually bustling with people. This photo was taken in front of the island's infamous silver shop, at the time sat empty. Although its charm retained, the city was never the same without passer-bys remarking about the weather or idle chatter of the elders that sat on the steps."
