Mac's Store

With ice and air conditioning as a bonus.

Right - no heat stroke inside Mac's Store!

An inspiring series, too, Diane. I haven't been too happy with what I've been taking lately, so a little break shooting grocery stores would be fun. Some good ones here, several of them called Mac's, part of the vast Alimentation Couche-Tard empire (in the States they have Circle K, On the Run, and Casey's). Maybe I'll dust off the Mac's photos I had on Flickr. I feel reinvigorated. Thanks.

I am thrilled to have inspired you, John. I often feel kind of stranded where I live, there is not much to look at (no, seriously, there isn't), so I have had to try giving the dull subjects a spark. However, there is satisfaction in the retro Americana look of the place - none of it "fixed up" that way. My European friends seem to get a kick out of it. Ah well, we work with what we have! Thank you , John.

belle série sur les "petites épiceries" !

Merci, Sylvain!

The fear that parents have about children alone is misplaced...

AGREED! It annoys the heck out of me. The very same son who rode to Mac's every day is, in my opinion, overly protective, but not nearly as much as his wife is.

We're seeing the effects of that where increasing numbers of people don't know how to navigate the world on their own, and have an exaggerated fear of strangers.

It's a pity...and it makes them pitiful!

nice series of stores..... the store is always a heart of agglomeration, a place to meet other people, better that coffeshop
