    Great photographs but why is this labeled "A dream lost". Main streets still exist all over this country.

    These were great pictures. I love these type of things. You actually see American flags and people happy to be here. Now I drive around and see flags from every country in the world but ours, but I do live in S. Florida. I guess we can thank nafta for that and the people that make the flags that hang in cars. No cell phones, computers, just simple times. I remember as a kid walking down to the corner store and buying baseball cards from the local shop. These places are no more thanks to Wal mart and some of the big buisnesses we have now.

    That is exactly it. I f'in hate WalMart.

    An irony is small town America started to get whacked when "shopping malls" popped up, and now the world has come full circle in that, the developers of shopping malls are now going bankrupt. Some will survive obviously, but only the strongest.

    I miss the american I knew as a kid. Corner stores, family owned businesses, and real towns

    GOOD OLD DAYS??? Depends I guess where you were on the social scale. My grandfathers had to walk to TRY to get a job, stand in soup lines, not able to live with their families due to not enough food to feed everyone in the house. The news was at least 24 hrs old at the quickest thanks to political run newspapers, and TV stations that were barely existent.

    No, I'M happy with my MacBook & IMac here at my home which enabled me to quick working 3 yrs ago and earn a little over $126,000 the last 3 years and able to take SouthWest Air outta Atlanta to Kansas City and rent a car and drive 150 miles to Joplin Mo to see my 91 yr old mother 3 times a year!...I can be there in 6 hours after I call her to tell her i'm coming... I'm 66 and I'll take progress anytime.

    Interesting perspective. Welcoming change or fighting for simplicity.
