Michael Eastman's Vanishing America

Before there was a Blockbuster, a Starbucks, and a Chilis on every corner in America, there was a soda fountain, a drug store, and a barber shop on every Main Street. I much prefer the latter to the former, and I think it's safe to say that MIchael Eastman does as well. In his most recent book, Vanishing America, Eastman catalogues the simple yet powerful structures of yesteryear and the stark silence that has overcome them.
