Before the invention of the car the city center was the only shopping and entertainment centers. The nice homes were on the edges of the city center and everyone was in walking distance to what they needed. Many store owners lived over their shop, business, or store. It was all centralized. After the car people could move away from the city center, buy houses further away, and shop away from the downtown sections. As people moved urbanization began and people could buy land further and further out of town. They were to become the future subdivisions and malls. Not only could people move but they could see other places and things. This made them view the world in new ways and have new experiences. In the 1950's the federal freeway system was begun which added to the ability for people and products to move at a faster pace. Combined with this was the introduction of the TV to the American household. Windows to the world were opened and now people could view other places and people from their living room. The car could take them to see some of these places as well. Factories were built away from the town and the people living in the new suburbs could get to work on the new freeway without the worry of the bus or train schedules. This created a better standard of living for all as more factories were needed for the new products and more trucks were used for shipping those products to stores. More people were able to get work to work in the factories, haul the goods, and work in the stores or to build the houses and malls. So, it continued until the last few years when many factories closed down so they could be moved overseas and put people out of work. The ripple of what we see today in work and business began and continues. Just think it all began with the car.
