Something that America (and Canada) kind of miss out on is the highly specialized stores that one finds in Germany. The weird part-- they have been there for years. Never out of business.
Why?
The absense of large corporate powers like wal-mart, sears, superstore, or target.
I have seen stores that sell only model airplanes. One sold lamps made only from hand carved wood and blue blown glass. Or maybe that store that sold clothes-- made only from satin. Satin tuxedo? check. Only clocks. Only watches. Only bread. Only fruit.
Weird right. But wouldn't you just love to walk into a clock store when you went to buy a clock?
"Hey, hun, I'll be home from work later than usual 'cause I need to pop into the clock store real quick-- while I'm at it, are you sure you wouldn't like a new dress made from satin? because it's right next door to the clocks."
yep. Life without walmart.
