The focus of this blog retail geography. Right now, I define retail as:
- banks (including savings and loans and credit unions)
- department stores
- grocery stores
- pharmacies
- shopping centers
This list, however, could evolve over time. I primarily focus on chains, though this does include some local chains.
My emphasis is historic (well, the 60s to the end of the century), though current day locations might show up as well.
The blog will take a map based approach, and should lead to some fun and interesting browsing. Using Google Maps as a base, it's easy to compare what was there to what's there now.
This is a work in progress, so check for updates.
