Original Title: Old Dutch Market Interior
Location: 622-24 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington DC
Washington DC - This is the Old Dutch Market, it was a chain store of about 12 back in the day. It was more than just a general store, it had a complete line of meats and produce. Though like a general store, you still needed assistance to get canned goods and meats. They didn't let you touch the meat by the way, they were into cleanliness.
You could only pay in cash, they had no line of credit. Some of the largest stores had a credit tab system, but a lot of people never paid it. Smaller places couldn't afford to do that.
