Fine, swap places. Strange- I have this overpowering urge to head toward the five and dime to buy candy and a comic book. Stop tugging and stay on the sidewalk!
Used to go the local five and dime with my grandparents all the time. Don’t remember many things that actually cost a nickel, though. It was more like the dime and quarter by then. Wow, I’m always shocked to remember how much you could buy with a single dollar just 35 years ago. And then I remember what minimum wage was 20 and 25 years ago…

Five and Dime store?

We didn’t have a five ’n dime in our town, just the local drug store. I sure wish still had all those comic books though.

That’s OK, as long as Red doesn’t start raising his leg and peeing on random stuff.

We had one of these when I was Red’s age – what a great penny candy selection they had!

I started reading Comic Books when they were 12¢ each. My dollar allowance got me 4 comics, a soda and a single dip ice cream cone.

I sold newspapers on the street until Mom heard me comment the smoke in the bars didn’t bother me. $igh, bad move on my part. :-)

I was looking for some photos of F.W.. Woolworth, G.C. Murphy’s and McCrory stores but I couldn’t find any to post here.
