Shopping Spree - Part 4
Time again to visit the yesteryears shopping experience. Here are some fresh assorted postcards from two different shopping centers in Sweden, one from Stockholm and the other one from Gothenburg. I have only visited the latter a couple of times, and it is still there - but it looks slighty different today (as many other things from the past). Enjoy Keith!

My name is Chris and I live in Sweden. I love the 50s and 60s lifestyle and design. I am very fascinated by the architecture of the period too, for instance googie, modernism, the work of Joseph Eichler, John Lautner and Arne Jacobsen's international style. I have a large archive with space-age, library, bossa, cocktail, retro soundtracks and exotica music. I also believe that things were better in the old days.

Bigmallrat, looked good. It has remained quite close to its original look until I visited it the last time, about 10 months ago, they were renovating the place then. I remember the shopping center from when I was a kid, always thought it was huge. Still think it's the largest shopping center in Sweden.
