I’m in absolute love with this person’s Flickr album of stores from the late 90s and early 2000s. Most of these are from the Staten Island area of New York.

Wasn’t The Wall the most overpriced store of our childhood?

“A Nation Mourns – Online Exhibit of the Corporate Web’s Response to September 11th”

 

The world changed on September 11, 2001. So did the corporate world’s desire to communicate directly to the public. This gallery documents the groundbreaking use of corporate homepages as a direct outlet for the people and emotion behind the brands.

I found this on my friend Sarah’s twitter, she said to make sure to check out the Hormel one:
