but does anyone else remember when Woolworth's and some drug stores had coffee shops or lunch counters in them? Here's a menu from the 1950's. Looks like prices have increased at least 10 times what they used to be. |

I remember a Woolworths Five and Dime from when I was very, very little...vague memories. There was a little soda fountain. And I distinctly remember in the restroom you had to put a dime in a "thingy" on the stall door for it to open!!! Little kids would just crawl under  |

| I remember when Sears and Penney's had fabric departments where you could buy patterns and fabrics to make your own clothes. Anyone still sew their own clothing? |

| I remember Woolworths, with a lunch counter when I was young, probably in the late 60's early 70's. |

I do! My favorite memories of my grandmother's house, was going to her drugstore and getting a milkshake at the soda fountain. I usually wasn't given enough money for a sandwich...in fact...i think i just said charge it....i really don't ever remember paying for anything. People would just say, you must be Kenneth's daughter....and i would say charge it to my Daddy. Wish I could do that now!

We had a store downtown in Lewiston where I grew up. I think it was called McCrory's. It was sort of like a department store but it had a little diner off to the side. My Memere used to take me their. Ooooo.....I just loved it! |

I love making my own clothes. my mom taught me to use a sewing machine and I live making things from vintage Vogue patterns. Plus it's great to have one of a kind clothes.

How cool to have a menu. I sewed like crazy. And I'm dumb enough to purchase a vintage Betsy Johnson pattern on ebay for $20 when I had one way back that cost $2.50.

Dang, I just ordered a chicken salad sandwich on rye with tomato, lettuce and onion and it was $5.50!! A glass of unsweetened iced tea and a bag of chips brought the total to almost 10 bucks!

Talk about a flashback. I remember going to the Woolworth's and eating at the lunch counter. What was it about the lunch counter that made the food taste better? We also had 3 stores in town that had soda fountains. Anyone remember cherry, vanilla, or chocolate phosphates? We also used to get Coke with a shot of cherry, vanilla, or chocolate. Many fond memories of sipping those fountain treats through a paper straw. |

| We had a Woolworth's within walking distance from my home on the east side of St Paul. Cherry Cokes remembered the most. Little did I know how much fun that was until the idea was obsolete. It made sense....would't you buy more if you could get a milkshake after you shopped? Yummm!!! |

| Yes, I remember Woolworth & Co. dimestores & their snack fountains well. Ate lunch in them many a time up until I was around 13 or so, anyway. Also at the same period were the Kresge dimestores. Woolco and K-mart (the earliest mega discount centers) is what they morphed into. Then came Globe Discount Centers, Gibson's, and Target. Finally the monster we know today, Wal-Mart blotted what was once Woolworth and most all the rest of them out of existence. |
