Shoe stores don't look like this anymore. At least not where I live.

*squeals at the lovely 1950's modernist take on 1930's art deco*

LOVE the leather chairs :P

It's almost Soviet given the lack of display.

"There are only 2 kinds uff shoes you can buy. That is all."

Crippling choice keeps people buying. Sustain the purchase agreeable mindset longer by presenting a difficult choice and you make more money. It's the retail trance and is usually limited to people's credit limit.

I by-pass this mental warfare by having low thresholds if decision when things don't matter. Unfortunately for a lot of industries this retail tactic is going to make their markets worthless. Unless, as per usual, they actually make a good product.

Adjusting for inflation since 1950, though shoes cost $300.

Two doors down from the Westdale Theatre. It's a convenience store next to a Subway now.

I'd kill for a few of those chairs. But I'll be happy with a silver gelatin print.

It's great you put that archive on flickr, btw.

Well I do work for the local archives. We do have the negatives and can send them off to be printed.

"Chisolm" sounds like "jism".
