The downtown here was only one bolck but it was nice. All the stores are gone now. I miss the one drug store that had a fountian and Cokes for 5 cents when I was young. That was a real treat if my dad let us stop to get one.

We would get a quarter each and it was a princely sum in those days. My friend Jessie and I would take our twenty five cents and go to Woolworth's and look and look and look. I was the more parsimonious of the two of us and I seldom spent the whole amount, but Jessie was fascinated by flash and glitter and would buy the darnedest things. I did envy her the hairclip with a glass "jewel" on it, though. A long time ago, far, far, away.
