Woolworth/Woolco Hallowe'en

[Hepcat]

I loved candy cigarettes when I was a kid, but I knew the difference between candy and the real thing. One of the good things about "the good old days" was that there wasn't someone trying to take away your freedom of choice constantly. I also watched violent cartoons and movies all my life, but I didn't become a criminal because of it. I knew better. As time went on more and more rules and laws have eroded simple freedom of choice for everyone.... Too many people want to tell the rest of us what we can't do.

Truth!

Maybe if we keep staring at them we will be transported back to Woolworths for a short time just to walk around and relive our youth again.

Late October is among the times of year when I most miss Woolworth and the other downtown five-and-dime stores I remember from my younger days, Kresge, Metropolitan and Zellers. So very sad that they're gone.



All that's left is the ads that can still be found on this inter-web thingy:



You bet that satisfaction was guaranteed!
