CSD: Miami.

You people are weird. We never really had "corner stores" here. Where I originally lived there were shops just at the end of the street, though literally about ten houses up from us there was one small shop which was where we went mostly for sweets and comics and stuff. Wasn't on a corner though.

Then, when we moved out to Darndale, which was actually in the process of being built, there were no shops at all. So some enterprising people used to bring vans of produce into the estate, most of which stayed there as sort of static shops. Once the big shopping centre opened across the road though, that was the end of them. I kind of miss the "vans". It used to be commonplace to ask "Is the van still open? "or to say "Hop over to the van there and get some milk would you?"
