When Dollar Stores start losing business, you know the economy’s in trouble....

Remember the dime stores when we were growing up? They weren't called that tho, that's what we kids called them.

Even when I was a kid in the early 70s, the neighborhood stores were all run by families. The old ladies who ran the corner store on our street would sell 8 year-old me cigarettes, because they knew my aunt, and they knew the smokes were for her.

Remember the dime stores when we were growing up?

In the 1950s and maybe into the '60s, many were actually called 5 and 10 cent stores. There was an Emery 5 and 10 cent store in my home town.

And kids did call those the dime store, and sometimes the 5 and 10.
