It’s easy to miss the “good old days” in today’s fast-paced, ever-changing world. This longing for what once was frequently calls to our sense of nostalgia and drags us down memory lane —times when Friday night meant some affordable Pizza Hut and a stop at Blockbuster on the way home. Remember old-school gas pumps that didn’t make your wallet clench? Yes, those were the good old days and though we long for what was, we don’t have to always miss them so terribly. With the help of these antique stores in Yakima, we can take a walk through the past by shopping for some of our favorite forgotten items.
