1950s America in COLOR

Let’s take a trip to a time when the downtowns of our cities and towns were vibrant and friendly. A time when small shops were staffed by sole proprietors and when large stores provided service that made you feel happy to be a customer. American downtowns have changed over the past several years, and in many cases, not for the better. But join me for a view of our collective past and rekindle memories of what seems like a much simpler and joyful time.
