weyes Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 ..it was like going to 7-11 or quick check to get candy and slurpees...nope. the drugstore was where the kids hung out at the counter, like at a diner, and ate banana splits, sundaes, etc. there's even one in my town that's been there since 18something.

weyes Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 word? like a general store joint~!?no. soda fountains were different. they were at drugstores, some of which later evolved into 5 and dime type places like woolworth's. the menus also expanded later on. do you remember woolworth's and lamston's, dg?

weyes Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 i was looking for pics on the 'net, and most were way before our time, many of sit-ins... but i used to go there when i was younger for things like socks and needles and thread, and my family used to get our portraits taken there. they still had a lunch counter and soda fountain when i was really little, but not later on. here's what i could find, the last one being an actual sign from the woolworth's counter: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
