High Street Shops We Loved And Lost - 2024 - 6/10

For Stateside dwellers, think Main Street shops.
Aging souls wax ecstatic about shopping back in the day.
The ambiance, the vibe, frantic sales, sniffy counter clerks.
By and large, these are chains.
Time from the Swinging 60’s to the 90’s, grinding to the end of it all.
None are blind to the harsh reality that Internet prices and convenience killed the shops.
An unhappy sigh when another closure was announced, followed by “I have not shopped there in a long time.”
