[QUOTE="Brewdude, post: 543395, member: 1723"] All the above. In spades. Not sure I can add anything. Been there and seen it. And the changes have been downhill. Mostly. Dave, I've been to Powell's many times when I was based in the greater Seattle area. Used to come down for the OBF every year and Powell's was a must. I only read real books with paper pages. Don't have and do not want one of those other things. And I still get a daily newspaper. I grew up reading the newspaper and still do. Maybe one thing to mention is the penny candy I used to get at Woolworth's five and dime. Mom would give me a dime and I'd go and get an assortment that would be plenty for 1c each. Red or black licorice whips, dots, ju-ju-bees, those little figured wax containers with the neon colored sickly sweet liquid, jawbreakers, rolled fruit discs, etc. All dispensed from a glass fronted enclosure by a kindly man in a white apron. Ya I'm an oldster! Cheers, RR [/QUOTE]
