[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1609779, member: 498"] A hundred years ago my little town had 4 hotels, 2 saloons, a two story dance hall (upstairs was a Odd Fellows lodge), 2 churches, 3 grocery stores, 2 big warehouses, a barber shop, meat market, and a drug store. Besides the nice railway depot, there was 2 section houses, a stockyard at the rail line, 3 livery stables, 2 blacksmith shops, a school, and a post office. Now there is a post office where the counter is only open 2 hours a day. The trains still go through but they never stop. The freeway make it a short trip to Baker or Ontario. In the past it was a long day horseback or several days by wagon. Even 50 years ago people just didn't travel like they do today. The roads weren't as good. Vehicles were as good and didn't last as long. People just simply didn't travel like they do today. They wouldn't think of driving 30 miles to the grocery store or 50 miles to a car dealership to get the best buy like they do today. [/QUOTE]
