My mom did that too. And melted butter in a little saucepan on a back burner.

My grandparents' phone had a black (they only came in black then), straight, thread-covered cord connecting the receiver and housing.

Does anyone remember when you could go in the 5 and 10 and buy those little baby turtles and they put them in a carton for you to take home?

They had birds and fish also.

After those I had to run to the Barbie aisle to see if any new clothes came in.

I do. It was back in the days before the 7 digits - we had two letters (of a word) and 5 numbers.

Remember the song PEnnsylania 6-5000

We were OL(ympia) #-####/

Later when my parents moved - IVanhoe #-####

When I got married VIrginia #-####

@Cakers3

As a sophomore in high school, my first part time job was as a cashier at the local Woolworth's 5 & 10 !!! Good picture there !

I thought I died and went to heaven: assigned the candy counter ! Almost got sick from sampling too much....but it cured the sweet tooth !
