@FS74: I sure do! We called it penny candy. You could go to the store with a nickel or a dime and leave with a bag full of candy!

@Lindsays Grandma I remember Woolworth's on corner of Main Street, Flushing.

Also, W.T. Grant. 5 and 10 Store. I worked in the fabric dept. until I got my teaching job.

My parents weren't happy with my dental checkup: where did all those cavities come from ?

Loved these glasses...especially when you put ice in and water ran down the outside. It was fun to play with at the table.

My girlfriend had these glasses and to this day I remember how the five kids in the family would fight over the purple. Her mild mannered mother finally put the purple glass on the floor and stamped on it and threw it in the trash. We were shocked!

@Mom in NY I graduated from Flushing High School!
@Cakers3 Used this pot holder this morning! In the mid 60's friend and I made and sold these for 25 cents and donated money for JFK Memorial Library.

My cousin and I had a business going making these. She was four years older than me and she would be home making them and when done I would go door to door in the neighborhood selling them -- or trying to. Pretty pathetic.

Me too, @shoesnbags ! I desperately wanted to look like Jean Shrimpton!

@sharlee

Yes! I almost put that in my post. I had a picture of Jean Shrimpton on my wall. That was THE look. Happy times, huh!

Anyone remember Kresge's 5 and 10 stores? We had both that and a Woolworths at a local shopping center.

Mom in NY · ‎03-10-2010

Yes I remember Woolworths, Kresges, Grants on Main Street Flushing NY. I grew up there. Also, when I was very young there was Fisher Beer 5 and 10 also on Main St

@Zaimee ...Our Woolworth's was on Liberety Avenue in Richmond Hill.
