Down On Main Street

They are all parked and none are on the street. How odd!

The town usually only had around 6,000 residents, so I'll bet it's because everybody was parked at a store and inside shopping! Ha ha!

Kidding aside, it's probably because people didn't run up and down the streets so much back then. They probably only drove to town if they needed something and everybody didn't run to the store every day. People stocked up on flour and sugar and stuff like that because there wasn't much junk food to buy, so they didn't have to waste gas going to the store repeatedly. And back then, there were more jobs in little towns and the citizens of that town worked there locally. Nowadays, a lot of people have to drive long ways to work every day and they run to the store every day because they don't know about stocking up to save trips. (Or else they don't care about saving gas and time.)

I think those older days were a slower pace and much better to have lived in. Not that I know from first-hand experience, because I'm not that old!
