Woolworth's on South Main
Nedoff's on Hazle Street

Gulf stations still exist around here. I do remember Western Auto, there used to be one on Rt 6 in Mayfield.

I wish there was still a Wawa around here, I wonder why they closed the one in W-B near Home Depot?

I miss having WaWa's around here too.

I'm surprised that you didn't have any Lionel Kiddie Cities or Seafood Shanty's. They were the Toys r Us and Red Lobster when I was growing up.

In W-B there's a Gulf at Blackman & 309, but he's always higher on gas, also one on 315 just north of the casino.

I remember the 50 King Boutique. You had to walk down below the sidewalk to enter. Very exotique with Asian antiques and vintage clothes. It was run by an equally exotic woman named Alma. My friend Tom and I used to ditch classes at Scranton Prep and visit in the 60's . She even burned incense and sold the round rimless glasses that John Lennon wore. We would buy incense and then go have lunch at the Charl-Mont @ the Globe department store!
