 ‘Ebb and flow: a recurrent pattern of coming and going or decline and regrowth’

As time advances, naturally, for better or worse industry also progresses. The cones remember a time of productivity, action, and manual labour; a table is a place where people from differing demographics can come together to eat, work, mingle, rejoice, or mourn. What remains when an industry declines does not need to be forgotten or made static – the infrastructure and knowledge can foster reinvention and regrowth with positive support.
