Ha!, I lived within walking distance to Richway and Cosmic Cowboy as a kid. Would go in and play video games at Richway and eat cheap hot dogs. I remember Cosmic Cowboy being dark and having really dirty floors. Good games though...

Don't have any pics, wish I did....

Hi, there, I remember Richway and Lionel Playworld but not Cosmic Cowboy. My stepmother loved Richway and of course we kids loved Lionel. Do you remember Treasure Island?

Hi, Remember the Farmers Market on Congress Avenue in West Palm Beach? It started as a large produce market, then turned into a huge flea market. It for years was a place you could go and buy all those odds and ends you couldn't buy any where else. I miss seeing their sign out front, a giant farmer which was a landmark for many years.
And does anyone remember Music Casters, out on Old Southern Blvd when it was 2 lanes and all woods? It was a dance cub for teens, that had paddle boats and canoes, and we had ID's that we showed to get in on Friday & Saturday night.

"Do you remember Treasure Island?"

Do you mean the TV show what was made on Singer Island( maybe at The Colonades) back in the 60s? I remember watching it as a kid and I actually found a Treaure Island post card.

Federated was having issues and they folded. The last Richways were cleared out in 1989. By 90, everything was gone.
