Ahhh, once you go back 30 years, it is impossible to compare much of
anything to today's stores...or to much else of today.

Hell my favorite slacks then were a size 3 and I grocery shopped at
Balducci's in the village, when the Balduccii family still waited on
people. I think a ride on the subway was 35 cents and top price B'way
tickets for a musical on Saturday night were $15.
