Quit Complaining, America--Be Thankful, Chester Smolski Oct 1990

Quit Complaining, America--Be Thankful, Chester Smolski

Smolski Texts

Smolski Texts

In today's parlance, this user-friendly pedestrian street or mall would make the shopping experience more enjoyable, safer, lead to more socializing and make it easier for the pedestrian to shop and buy more. And for a while it worked."
