This is a major blast from the past.. major being before even shopping malls killed main street USA.
This is an image of Joe Popson’s store in Centralia, PA.. meat, groceries.. tobacco.
Eventually the town of Centralia got destroyed by a coal mine fire, the coal region main street stores got killed by the Schuylkill Mall. And today? The Schuylkill Mall is wreckage on the ground, torn down to make way for a distribution center.
As the economy changes…
