It was a holdover from the pre-new suburb days and had a wall of penny candy! We'd save up our allowance and make the hike to the yellow gas station and slowly walk back munching from our small bags full of candies--and be on a sugar high the rest of the day--LOL! Remember when there were candies that were 5 or 10 for a penny? And the real big hershey bar (which they reduced in size decades ago) was a nickel? It doesn't surprise me that the kids love to go to the candy store. I guess things haven't changed all that much in over 50 years--lol! ;)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-19077778806296709542013-05-27T00:18:51.582-05:002013-05-27T00:18:51.582-05:00I remember shopping at that candy store when we we...I remember shopping at that candy store when we were in the area in 2003.
