Throwin’ it back to the days when sweeping the sidewalk was part of your morning routine and a trip to the florist and the barber could happen in one stroll!

You could smell the fresh flowers from City Florist before you even stepped inside, and just next door, the Barber Shop wasn’t just for haircuts, it was the unofficial headquarters for town gossip! 💈Photo credit University of North Texas Libraries, The Portal to Texas History taken 1974.
