Old Shop


Sometimes you encounter shops that make you wonder; how can they survive? This is one, a shoe shop in Dordrecht.. Looking at the front and the goods in the shop window, it's almost like a time warp of 50 years...

We used to have shops like this when I was growing up, but they are all gone now!

I think this kind of business we can find in all cities even in the big cities!
Cool post!
Have a nice week dear Marcel!
God bless you!

You are right, Marcel.... I am also wandering how could they survive... Just my guess: the older and the more unique the goods (i.e. shoes in the pics)the more expensive they are

:P

Great article!(btw, thanks for your kind comment on my blog!)

Good morning from Holland-Indische!

Small town America still has many shops like this. And small town people (like me) still shop there!

Hello from EAGAN, Minnesota. Fun shoe pictures - grannies need to buy shoes, too, right?

I like old shops like this, Marcel. I agree they are probably more expensive than the large chain stores, but here you are dealing with the owner and the service is personal.
