Would anybody going to the @TheBHCNews 2025 conference in Atlanta be interested in joining me in submitting a roundtable panel on "applied (business) history"? As in using business history in policy today. It fits the theme well: https://t.co/oSMxtIw7Wt.

[Vicki Howard @retailhistorian]

Visited the "Flohmarkt" in Bonn today. Sunday trading very limited, but these flea markets filled several plazas. #Germanretail

[Vicki Howard @retailhistorian]

As a huge #Haribo fan, I was thrilled to finally make it to a dedicated shop in Bonn, the German city where this sweet originated.

[Vicki Howard @retailhistorian]

And for all you #cheese lovers, in Cologne.

Lovely #escalators in this department store in Cologne. #GaleriaKaufhof

[Vicki Howard @retailhistorian]

In Germany this week and enjoying the diverse #retail scene. Visited this department store in central Cologne the other day.
