    How well I understand what you're saying Darran Hughes The joy of being a child and having a whole nickel to spend at the penny candy counter. The owner always gave me "and one for good luck" as he would put in something I had not selected. I know now he was trying to move out the older stock, or things that didn't sell well, but it sure made me feel like I was special to get free candy like that. You don't see this kind of thing any more.

    I can just barely remember a store like this in Massachusetts when I was about three or four in the early 1970s. I guess it must have been quite old fashioned even then.

    Charlotte Issyvoo I believe the creaky wooden floors were mandatory.
