Wagons in vintage Street scenes

Thanks for the nice two door wagons. Notice not only were the vehicles nicer looking, the homes were smaller and simpler. The businesses more functional.

 

Each states pavilion is on land that has been ceded to the state that displays there, and is a sovereign state within the state of Massachusetts. If you commit a crime on the grounds of the Rhode Island pavilion, then you will be extradited back to Rhode Island for prosecution.

This looks like the Howard Johnson restaurant on Route 9 in Shrewsbury MA, however, they all look alike, and this could be almost anywhere in the U.S. that Howard Johnson operated restaurants. They also had Howard Johnson motor inns, that had a distinctive look to them that was very identifiable from a distance to the motoring public.

 

I believe Howard Johnson and Stuckies all disappeared along with the Burma Shave signs and old fashioned truck stops.
Now we have large truck stops with fast food joints. Even the fresh fruit and produce stands are disappearing.
