Remember when going shopping was a big deal; you got dressed up for it and went "downtown," and you went to the department stores, had lunch in a cafeteria downtown, and it was all a big treat?

....sure do!...most of the time we went to the dime store, the big stores were in downtown Detriot.

The rest of the family would be happy to order at the fountain, but, I had to go to the snack bar and get a Chiliburger! Oh my, that was good, it was chile and ground hamburger mixed together, not chile poured over hamburger like today!

Walgreens used to have this killer soda fountan. If they wanted to really improve thair stores they would bring it back.
