Times have certainly changed. Foot Locker isn't even a tenant of the beautiful Woolworth building in NYC any more. It used to have a sneaker store there. The building looks like a massively-tall church, a veritable Cathedral of Commerce:
speaking of Woolworths, I loved that little store....I could do may entire Christmas shopping for 4 brothers and a sister and Mom and Dad there for $2-$ when I was a child.....best of times back then....

I have fond Christmas memories of shopping at Woolworth’s as well. As a kid, your spending money went a little farther.
Yep me too. The Woolworth's was the place to shop in downtown Detriot back when. Woolworths' was a true Five and Dime in my neighborhood. They had a cafe', purfume counter, and other stuff. I guess I'm too young to correctly remember all the other services Woolworths' provided. However, I do remember that when my Uncle would come to visit, he would take us there and he would treat us to ICE CREAM FLOATS and a few shirts and pants, and anything else he thought we needed.
