So I took a little trip down memory lane... and searched, and read, and smiled when I read other people's memories of old places, and realized that nothing is left of the places where my family and I did business when I was growing up back in the last century. A few names are the same but locations, offerings, and processes are different in various ways..
I nearly cried when other people posted that they remember! the chandeliers in this or that store, the dignified service in a few places, and wondered the same things from decades later. Which buildings were torn down? Are you sure? It doesn't matter very much what the newer monstrosity replaced. It was just comforting to find a record of businesses as well as other people's memories of them.
It was interesting to view some of the many business transformations that have occurred in my lifetime.
I also found a pic from 1996. Hillary Clinton, sunshine-y in her yellow suit, was visiting Barry Goldwater during a bump out from a campaign visit to his state. I wonder what they talked about that day...
*eta* never mind. HIllary wrote about that visit. Aaw...
