I remember when the plain, regular hamburgers at McDonalds were about $0.35. HA!

Blast from the past....

Yes, @JoyFilled Warrior   I remember Evening in Paris in the dark blue bottle.  That and the Tangee lipstick (which I think is still sold at Vermont Store)...like playing dress-up!

@JoyFilled WarriorTiny Tears was one of the precious baby dolls

 I remember! In 1948 I was 6 and we sat at the lunch counter eating a BLT or hot dog, delicious store made donuts with a hint of vanilla.

  The toy department was just beside the lunch counter. Many items were 10 cents, a wicker basket with twin dolls for instance!

Took my three kids to a Woolworth's in the city during the Christmas holidays.  (We took a city bus--which was so exciting for them---ugh!)

We bought 2 parakeets for a few bucks each.  Toby and Patches.  They lived for decades it seems, well, not that long.  But they had a good life.  They were just a couple of bucks each.

I don't remember anything else about Woolworth's though.  Other than the birds were downstairs.....Kids knew exactly where to go.....

Boy do I miss Woolworth's!!!  I loved their variety  of items, they had it all and it was just a wonderful place to shop or browse. There was a Woolworth's in my city where I grew up and I often went to Manhattan to the big Woolworth's where they had food.  Oh how I loved their pies, the best at the time.  I always looked forward to sitting on the stools that lined up along the counter.  It was so relaxing and exciting!  Yes, I do miss Woolworth's and nothing has ever replaced that store since for me.

Yes I remember Woolworth.

I miss the good old days or maybe they were good because I was a kid.

Never knew what they served at those counters. That menu is way before my time.

@Buffalogal47 @sugarbee @JoyFilled Warrior  My two cousins and I had Tiny Tears. We would buy the small variety pack of  Gerber Baby Cereal and mix the cereal with water to "feed" our baby dolls. We also had Toni dolls. I still have mine and have collected more Toni dolls in recent years. About fifteen years ago, I designed and made Toni doll clothes and sold them online.

   Like most little girls back in the 50's, I loved my dolls especially my Ginny dolls, that I still have. Those were the popular dolls just before Barbie.
