When I was a kid these Mom and Pop stores were an important part of the neighbourhood.
Old memory for me Wayne as I used to live in the 500 block in '74 -'75. I believe I was in that place a few times for smokes. Thanks.
We have one street in town that has a collection of these small shops, and altho quite modern, it has the same feel of small town. Unfortunately, many of the blocks are being taken over by larger chains. . .ruins it all!
Judging by all the hardware, I'm guessing this is in a rough neighborhood? Or are they just trying to keep the American backpackers out.
I prefer the smaller, family owned businesses as well.
KB, it's not a rough neighbourhood but it's close to one. I'm sure they're trying to keep all backpackers out. :-)Thanks for the comments
Sadly we don't have many of these in the valley.
I agree - though they don't look very welcoming, do they?!
I just photograph 'em. I never actually go inside. No they don't look very inviting. I'm probably missing out on more great photo ops. :-)
