I remember kids sitting at the counter, shooting drinking straw
wrappers at each other. After the straw makers got smart and started
putting holes in the end of the wrappers, the kids would have to twist
the ends of the wrappers to be able to shoot them.

I think Woolworth's was where I had a frozen cherry Coke.

The thing I associate most with Woolworth's was the cheeping birds
they had for sale. Each Woolworth's sold pets.
