Cole’s Market is the anchor store of Pleasant Plaza, one of the most amazing strip malls in all of North America. Once deteriorating and mostly forgotten, the owners went all-out in sprucing the place back up to its former glory. With old-style neon above most of the businesses and a big googie sign along the road…if anybody wants to go see what it was like to shop in 1950s or 1960s suburbia when everything was still fresh and well-kept, this is the place!
