Love at the Five and Dime - Nanci Griffith

A favorite song.



R.I.P.

These Five and Dime — "downtown" — department stores are gone forever:

S.H. Kress (1896-1981)
J.J. Newberry (1911-1997)
F.W. Woolworth (1878-1997)
and others were the precursors to the big box stores
of today: WAL-MART, KMART, etc.
