Photos Of An Unknown Family Who PROBABLY Owned A Liquor Store

In 2005,  someone named “BENBENEK” found a box of photos at a Southern California swap meet and realized he’d found a treasure, a glimpse of unknown history. The photos were bland and banal, yet oddly endearing, so he set up a website to share them with the world: HouseplantPicturesStudio.com.

Unfortunately the site is defunct, but via the Wayback Machine we can still enjoy Photos Of An Unknown Family Who PROBABLY Owned A Liquor Store.
