It is quite 'normal' that shops used to have a different appearance. It is not clear, however, why women went shopping en masse with hair curlers or saleswomen drove cars between product shelves.
Today you really can you see many things in shopping malls, a hair curlers galore or of cars between the shelves you won't see. On the Flor historical photographs from American shopping centers you will be able to see many interesting things. The photos will show you how the appearance of the stores gradually changed: from small elegant or simple village shops to large shopping malls.
Would you like to live in 'that' time?
