Nostalgia for Old Stores and Malls

Remember the way stores and shopping centers used to look? They're b-a-c-k and will live forever, at least on the Internet--sometimes in black and white, sometimes in glorious color. Here are a few sites to browse:

• History of the Shopping Center follows the evolution from European shopping plazas to today's lifestyle shopping centers.
• Wikipedia's entry on the Shopping Mall goes back to early bazaars and also covers contemporary issues like vertical malls, dead malls, and legalities.
• Pleasant Family Shopping shows photos of supermarkets and stores from the past 50 years, with links to other blogs and sites with more photos and nostalgia.
