Growing up I remember walking to several corner stores for all of our daily needs. Cooper’s had snacks and penny candies and P&S had groceries. Even the diners were not only so tasty they were reasonably priced. Today, Cooper’s isn’t there one of the diners turned into a pizza place and small doctor’s office turned into a daycare center. For a long time all of those charming mom and pop shops were disappearing.
If you’ve noticed there’s been a resurgence of the quaint Main Street feel in the big cities. Crumbling neighborhoods and dilapidated houses are being transformed into hip bistros and trendy shops. Made in America is in fashion again! Local isn’t an insult, it’s a badge to be worn proudly on doors, menus and labels.
Rambler’s Way is changing small town life in Maine; refurbishing buildings, bringing business back to the community and revitalizing the area with jobs and opportunities that weren’t available for a long time. The neighborhood I grew up in was in bad shape for a long time. Northern Liberties, Philadelphia is now one of the most sought after communities after its tremendous growth in recent years. Memories of vacant lots, boarded up buildings and damaged streets are long gone.
Think back to where you and your family grew up. How is it different today? Is it still changing?
