OUR VANISHING AMERICANA: A SOUTH CAROLINA PORTRAIT

After traveling throughout North Carolina capturing in photographs the iconic family businesses which have been fading from the backroads and Main Street for the past quarter of a century, Mike Lassiter has continued his journey southward. The result is Our Vanishing Americana: A South Carolina Portrait, a coffee table-style book with over 200 pages of colorful photos of general stores, hardware stores, fillin’ stations, groceries, barber shops, theaters, drugstores, restaurants and other vanishing Americana across the Palmetto State. Introductory text in each chapter is contributed by Cele & Lynn Seldon and features personal stories and anecdotes from some of the fascinating people Lassiter met during his travels.
