I began to take some pictures of some old buildings in my area. This got me to thinking that maybe I should take pictures to document these old buildings before they vanish.

When I was a kid growing up in the early seventies the retail world was booming and I began to take an interest in finding and documenting some of the old retail chains that I remembered as a youngster. Some are still around and have been remodeled, others are there but with a new business.

I started looking at some other Flickr members that have great knowledge of retail history. I became really inspired to document as many of these old stores as I could.

So for now I will take some pictures.
