(click on photo to enlarge)As I designed this mosaic of Woodbridge entities I found myself realizing that they represent something far more than just a collage of names. They were a part of our lives back then, with each of us having a Sisolaks, Jardots, Park Sweet Shoppe or Fedors within walking distance. Walk in and newspapers to the left, candy counter to the right, cigarettes on the wall...greasy cheeseburger in the air. They represent our youth and sadly they are quickly disappearing. Life has evolved that we are conditioned for convenience and most of what we view above is now packaged under the same roof of mega businesses like Walmart and Costco.
We may look back and enjoy the childhood memories that many of these places afforded us but we also appreciate that we lived in a era to experienced them as well.
