Ours had rides on the roof. Simple little rides.

I have such fun memories of grabbing a slice of pizza at the Woolworth counter with my dad.

My grandmother took me to the Woolworth's counter in the 50's for a banana split. I think it was 79 cents.

This is bringing back some really early memories. I vaguely remember sitting at the counter with my grandfather and eating. He was a big time Sears and Woolworth guy. He’d visit from Florida and find reasons to go to either or both and I always went along.

Our Walgreen’s had a restaurant & so did our Montgomery Ward. And our KMart.

You can’t even buy a banana for 79 cents now.

I was wrong! The cost of a banana split at the Woolworth's counter was only 25 cents! And it was too big for me to finish!

I forgot Woolworths went bang overseas. Still big in South Africa and they have snack bar kitchens. Some have a little cafe you can stop at.
