I miss what they used to be- Woolworth’s.

In the early '80s I drove out with the Chicago Debating Society to be a judge in an APDA Debate Tournament at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts. Long car ride. We get to Northampton, and after dropping our bags off at the dorm, we go out to get dinner. The problem is that Northampton was upscale woke before anyoneknew what woke was. No Denny's, IHOP, or even McDonald's. Everything was variations of "Bean Sprout Hut". Then, I spotted a Woolworth's! Oh to have a BLT and fries with orange bug juice at the lunch counter! Unfortunately, I was outvoted, and we wound up eating at Bean Sprout Hut.

P.S. You'd think there would be fun to have for a car full of guys at an all-girls college. Nope.
