When I was in high school we often stopped at the soda fountain at Woolworth's. This menu may explain why I am constantly amazed at today's prices.

John said...: My first job, after mowing lawns of course, was at Woolworths in some mall over there. Lake Forest Mall maybe. I've lost track. But I was a cashier in the store, not at the fountain.; 7:08 AM
