You're right about the changes. People depended upon cars and didn't walk as much.
New businesses included drive-in movies, drive-in fast-food restaurants, drive-through banks and ATMs. McDonald's and other fast food restaurants became established. I remember in the early 60s, traveling with young children several hundred miles in rural Michigan. There were no fast-food chains and no ATMs. Other businesses that benefited from the car culture included car repair, washes, and dealerships.
how did automobile culture change neigbourhoods? what businesses develop because this automobile culture?
and this in 1950's i think.
i write it change neigborhods by closing corner grocery stores and building of large new supermarkets. the shopping mall become hub of suburban life where lots of consumer goods be purchased.
i not know what businesses develop cause of automobile i only know that car makers start installing enormous V-8 engines.
