 Five & dime ... ha, ha. What does a nickle or dime buy now? When I was a kid, a dime would buy a whole lot of munchies (says ole man Darryl).

 Yup... I still remember when small bags of chips were 5¢ and the larger ones were 10¢...

I blew up the picture. If you look at the 62 Impala hardtop you can see the trunk is popped open!

The newest car on the lot seems to be the 69 Chevelle and the oldest car on the lot, the 57 Chev.

 No, the oldest car on the lot is not that 57 Chev but the car next to that Chevy II. I can not make it out but it may be a 55 Ford or some Ford product from the 50's.

For a moment there I thought that was the old mall that has since disappeared which was on Henderson Highway, and what is now Chief Peguis Trail... now that was a Woolco I went to a bunch as a kid :)
