Can you find the two cans that are upside down? How about the cans that are in the wrong spots?
You can tell a lot about a location by simply looking at their stores. This area must have been quite wealthy to have this much food. I've only seen general stores, and while this is a grocery store, its still set up like one. I have two sections of this store, and each section is self contained. If you needed produce, you ask the guy in the back to help you, and you pay for it there. Then move on to the next area and pay again.
The baskets above is what you carried your items in, at $2.50 a piece for some of them, it equates to around $65 our price.
There is no doubt they liked asparagus, they have it in every form and color. Cans, fresh, green, white, there is a lot. Other canned favorites are corn, peas, and pie filling.
The long cabinet on the bottom is one long refrigerator. It has lights inside, and you fan find items that are on the top side like artichokes, apples and such.
The cans, Enco Brand foods - does not exist now or ever. These cans are very similar to the type you give a child when they play grocery store. Yet that brand does not exist today as a food brand. Either they were very local, or went out of business mighty fast. But they did have variety. I chose a different background color for each type of food. Partly because I thought it would look nicer, and partly because it was easier to color the whole can rather than doing it a bit at a time. Even so, they mixed a lot of the cans up. And I had to hunt down for other cans mixed in with others.
I can't tell if I'm looking into another room or if its a reflection. In the background areas near the cucumbers, I see more fruit, its hard to tell if I'm looking through the center or what.
I can't tell if that is a reflection in the background, or if I'm seeing into another room.
