19. Sad to see an icon go....
Shopped there with my grandmother in the 60's. Those were the American stores before they folded. Making the drive into town and her letting me get a "small" something there or at the "Western Auto" on the Saturday's I visited are some of my fondest memories of an era long lost.

There is a new reality, one which our children have yet to experience but soon will. While there will be more Woolworths in the year to come, the upside is that our children will be forced to live more responsibly, within their means, and to give back something to their neighbors.

Seems life is indeed a series of circles.

Sigh... I can only hope.

Peace,
MZr7
