I have been fascinated with the past all my life. Although time travel is not possible (at least, as far as I know), we can still experience it through what I call "relics of the fourth dimension." Namely, as the old saying goes, "time marches on." We can't travel in the fourth dimension, except going forward in the present, but we can follow the trail of the fourth dimension. Along the way, people lose or discard items from their being. These relics are unintentional time capsules that give us as glimpse into their lives. Here on The Time Searchers blog, I will show some relics of the past that I have run across in our present. Sometimes when I am out on a relic hunt with the Colonial Relic Hunter, we know that we are not alone. There is more than just relics at these historical sites. Indeed, it could be said that there is a portal to the past, perhaps to another dimension, where that which once was, still is. A place where the real consorts with the shadows; the present fuses with the past, on Time Searchers: Ghost Relics.

A TRIP TO THE DRUG STORE-CIRCA 1945

                                                               


  HERE'S A PHOTO THAT SHOWS HOW THE SHOPPING EXPERIENCE WAS IN THE MID 1940'S AMERICA.  I LIKE HOW EVERYONE IS DRESSED UP.  NO SLOBS IN BLUE JEANS AND T-SHIRTS HERE TO PICK UP A CARTON OF CIGARETTES, A CASE OF BEER AND LOTTERY TICKETS.  PEOPLE TOOK PRIDE IN THEIR APPEARANCE AND DRESSED UP TO LOOK PRESENTABLE IN THEIR DAILY LIVES.  THE DRUG STORE EMPLOYEES ARE DRESSED IN WHITE JACKETS AND TIES, THE TWO DELIVERY MEN ARE UNIFORMED. EVEN THE SMALL CHILD IN THE PHOTO IS WELL DRESSED.  I ESPECIALLY LIKE THE GUY IN THE THREE PIECE SUIT AND BOWLER HAT, WHICH WAS GETTING UNCOMMON IN THE US EVEN IN 1945.  
     I LOVE THESE OLD STORE PHOTOS THAT SHOW ITEMS I SEE WHEN I LOOK FOR ANTIQUES.  I CAN SEE HOW THE ITEMS WERE DISPLAYED BACK IN THE DAY.  A TRUE LOOK BACK IN TIME.-THE TIME SEARCHER
