Compose a short description of a dreary scene outside a town market with statues, cobblestones, and a shop.

Only some renovation has taken place along this narrow stretch of street, seen by the missing cobblestones as well as the general decrease in the amount of ornamentation. Few vendors market their wares here in this man-made canyon of partially white-washed buildings and half-restored statues, most likely due to the lack of regular foot traffic rather than any missing pretty sculptures. Atop a brown brick shop, a figure occasionally appears, surveys the area, then vanishes again.
