I'm so old...

...I remember Kresge's 5 & 10, which was called, of course "five and dime"--and their wonderful "counter" (read: soda fountain) and how cool it was to go up, sit down and order a soda. Wow. If you never experienced it, you had to be there. So it goes. (You know it's a long time ago if you do a Google search for it and can't find too many good pictures of what their stores looked like, too, right?).

  1. They had a hoagie sandwich they called "a meal on a bun", and poor as we were, it was cheap enough that my mom would buy one for me and one for herself.
