John,

I don't know how far and wide F.W. Woolworth sowed their seeds but I do know they were ever present in Connecticut where I grew up (50 years worth). This scene perhaps don't reclaim any fond memories from the younger folks however it certainly does for me. You have captured a classic scene from the 1950s and gone forever when Woolworth produced such stores with eateries.

Wonderful, just wonderful. #8705400

I really love this nostalgic shot John...I grew up in the Bronx and we had several of these; I think we called them the five and dime! #8725117
