I absolutely love this. The composition, lighting and artifacts all blend in to make a wonderful image that does indeed evoke thoughts of an era gone by.
I for one would not clone out that buoy on the wheel, since it is very much part of marine life.
I like the lighting, the composition. I like the light & shadows on the paver brick, you can almost touch the moss (I think that is what it is) between the bricks.
I like the composition, but it seems a bit too contrasty for the homey feeling I think it should evoke. If you didn't bump the contrast, perhaps this is the result of sharpening?
ETA - Found this photo from the "Want Comments?" thread.
I like it. Makes me think of the good old days. The only thing I would change would be to get rid of the red & white thing on the wheel. Maybe try to clone out the flyer in the window. Overall it is a good shot.
