Re: Lunch Counters
Oh, that takes me wayyyyyyy back to the Lunch Counter at Woolworth's in
downtown Charlotte many years ago. Anyone ever get the little bag of cashews or
peanuts from that store? As I recall, they were sold in a little case that kept
them warm...
I loved having a Coke or sandwich from the lunch counter. Great food...wonder
if Olive got more than two bits for a tip there? You know she had all those
kids to raise....
My grandfather owned a grocery store and my brother and I loved getting the
little bags of "penny candy". Remember those days? BB Bats, Kits, Bazooka Gum,
to name a few...wow..great memories.
Although there was no lunch counter at Grandad's store, he did have a
wonderful drink box, full of cold bottles of "pop"..remember NEHI drinks and
Upper 10? . We always kept the bottle tops, too.
Sure wish I had one of those right now....wonder if Wally's gas station sold
them?
