I liked those Hockey games, I had a friend that had one, & there actually was some skill to it.   

 

I found a Roger Staubach's ABC's Monday Night Football in my parents attic a few years back, it was a table top game that had a lamp underneath that would illuminate the play yardage on the field.

I had an old pair of these roller skates in our garage until we downsized to move into our retirement center.

They are in a metal suit case (mid 50's), I never could roller skate well, but was good on Ice Skates.

(1 comment) I was born in the 50's and remember trips to Woolworth with my Mamamae (grandma).

 

We did food and merchandise.

 

Their "shakes" were DELICIOUS!!!

 

She purchased her crochet threads from them. A very talented lady who taught me to crochet. She did a dress and to this day I still "marvel" at this.

I loved Woolworth! As a Senior in HS, took bus to work transferring in DT; awaiting transfer bus always had shake there. When I became pregnant, their fish sandwiches and hot sausages were necessities!

 

I so miss Woolworth but there it is...

I remember Woolworth, but Kresge's (S. S. Kresge) was more common in my area, same dimestore setup as Woolworth, & had a lunch counter too.  Woolworth still thrives in the UK I believe.

 

Our Dollar stores are now gone in this past wave of inflate, I always liked Dollar Tree, as I knew what my bill would be by the # of items (Less tax of course).
