This is a nice story about a parking lot. It starts as a parking lot and goes on to become a department store, the car sales office and a school. The topic chosen stands out. Choosing to write about a parking lot is a good idea. The fire in the fuel center, the earthquake, the shutting down of the department store, and the splitting of the car lot are disasters that occur. The parking lot changes in shape and evolves. The account is autobiographical. The parking lot is not rebuilt but cleaned up. The account is written with imagination.
