ah yes, I remember most of those.

I remember Zayre was called Towers before it was Zayre.

I remember Woolworth’s and other 5 and dime stores, such as JJ Newberry. 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Of the old "five and dimes", no, they've been replaced by "dollar stores".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...

Dollar stores (Dollar General, Dollar Tree, Family Dollar) are the closest thing to the old 5 and dime.
