MONTGOMERYVILLE, PA — Local dad Justin Simpson took a trip to the mall on Christmas Eve to begin his Christmas shopping, only to find a vacant lot where the mall once stood. "Oh man, I've been coming here forever," Simpson said. "I mean, it's been a few years, but I used to love getting malts at the Woolworth soda fountain. Then my mom would always make us buy some educational books over at Borders." A distraught Mr. Simpson had reportedly planned to shop for his entire family at the mall this year. "I figured I could get the older kids...

The retailer pledged to follow up with its meat production partners and urged others with the same issue to contact their local store 'If a customer is able to return a fresh produce they are not happy with, we'll refund and replace it,' he said. This is not the first time Woolworths customers complained about meat appearing to be stuck together. Another woman recently took to social media to complain that her Woolworths 'eye fillets' were falling apart. 'So when did Woolworths start using meat glue to make this atrocity of an 'eye fillet' steak?' she wrote in a Facebook...

A Woolworths in Germany will no longer be selling Christmas decoration as staff claim the business has undergone a conversion to Islam. One worker at the Woolworths, located in Dortmund, told German news outlet Bild, “We are a Muslim business. We don’t want to sell Christmas articles.” Word of that statement spread quite quickly and managed to pick up a whole host of negative reactions, many reminiscent of the following.

WOOLWORTHS has cancelled Christmas in one of its German stores after claiming its only remaining customers are Muslim. The former high street favourite went bust seven years ago in the UK but still operates 300 stores across Germany. And a row has broken out after staff at a branch in Dortmund decided not to bother with Christmas decorations, gifts or music this year because it is now essentially a Muslim store. Shocked locals found out after the Christmas section, which featured decorations, gifts and and festive treats such as chocolate Father Christmases, was removed after just a few days on...

A Civil Rights pioneer has died. Franklin McCain was one of four teenagers who sat down at an all-white lunch counter in Greensboro on February 1, 1960... The freshmen from North Carolina A&T ignited a sit-in movement in the Jim Crow south that led to other key chapters in the Civil Rights era... Initially McCain and the other men were known as the A&T Four, because what they did was viewed as so controversial. In time, the city adopted them as their own, and today they're more commonly known as the Greensboro Four...

Couple years before my time, but I sure remember eating there and similar places back in the sixties.   I also recall when prices were in this vicinity, too... back when a dollar was a dollar: One time when I was about twelve, just walking through the isles of Woolworth's with my buddy for what I don't remember...  I found a $20 bill on the floor. There was nobody around, so I kept it... a lot of money to a kid who mowed lawns for like $3 apiece.  BUT, I insisted my friend take half, 'cuz he was there...
