Are there any 5 and dime stores of any kind left? I doubt it.

Of the old "five and dimes", no, they've been replaced by "dollar stores". Thank you Federal Reserve...

Yes and no.

Dollar stores are purely trash.

Murphy’s and Woolworth’s were nice but cheap shops.

Course it could be just the trashy selfish lackadaisical attitude prevalent today...the dollar stores are smaller, and junk is all over the floor that so-called “workers” don’t bother to clean up. Might’ve been the same at the old stores if they survived to now.
