Rubble (noun): broken fragments resulting from the decay or destruction of a building.
“You swallow hard when you discover that the old coffee shop is now a chain pharmacy, that the place where you kissed so-and-so is now a discount electronics retailer, that where you bought this very jacket is now rubble behind a blue plywood…”
I detected the word rubble while reading the passage City Limits. I pondered about the words definition and concluded that it meant a speck. While doing research on Merriam-Webster its definition appeared. I noticed that the definition said the destruction of a building which went perfectly with the author’s writing. He is trying to say where you may have bought your jacket the store has been destroyed and is under construction.
