You made me smile remembering the Qtown market! lol Yes you were completely right - I think that market is the last place in America where smoking indoors is allowed - in fact, it might be required!

I remember wondering if the place might fall over if a big wind hit the area!! There was a great coffee shop inside that sold great beans - I would hold my breath and run inside the smoke filled building -

Thanks for reminding me of the place.... we left almost 5 years ago but I do miss certain things in the area...like cheesesteaks and WaWa coffee.

All the other marts in the area are gone. We used to have “Blue rules” on Sunday and most businesses were closed by law. The marts were open and the only place to shop.

I was always on my toes in any mart. Tourists and trash came in from everywhere.

Worst was the Bazaar of All Nations, just south of the runway at the Willow Grove NAS. Jet plowed in back around the early ‘60s and killed five, burned the place down. Can’t imagine why they rebuilt it. Went there once or twice after that, not worth getting out of the truck to visit the place.
