Yes, #bygone days. I grew up in the 50s, highschool in the 60s. Grew up in a little Kansas (<300) town.
I recall remnants of a #WoodenSidewalk between the grocery store and soda fountain store.
I remember a couple of #HitchingRails outside the grocery store. We kids didn't know they were old hitching rails, just something to climb on.
For a time there was also an old fashioned dry goods store, with wall shelves around the store and #CrackerBarrels.
