In Fredricksburg, Texas there is an old time variety store called Dooley's. I stop there everytime I pass through...it's exactly like Woolworths and Ben Franklin stores. Neat music today, too.Sue McPeakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04927975578544675345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-24417267798988192212018-04-16T18:52:04.907-04:002018-04-16T18:52:04.907-04:00Sorry, I never heard of a Kress store.

They were so cheap and they'd have ones they couldn't find elsewhere. They also sold packs of 10 45s for $1. Even though you couldn't see what records were inside the pack, there were some gems. TW found "Ina Gaddadavida" in one of those packs. They still have the Top 40s Woolworth's used to put out.Cathy Keishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11237575721246947408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-22319514549130852422018-04-16T14:45:21.000-04:002018-04-16T14:45:21.000-04:00That ad for W.

I see this happening to Sears and Kmart. I don't know how on earth they are still hanging on but it won't come as any shock if both eventually close their doors. :(<br /><br />'New Day' & 'Forever Now' are introductions. I, especially enjoyed Alicia Keys' song. Thanks for putting the boogie in my move this morning. Today's post is a hodgepodge of posts with 4M, Sparks, A2Z, & BoTB.
