I loved the Giant Store. When I was a kid I would get 1.00 a week for an allowance. My sisters and I would walk there from home over the lord overpass ( former Highland girl). We would spend the day shopping.. We each had our own dollar..Man that went a long way back then..

Remember "King's" at the foot of John Street, at the mills ? Sorry, the only dentist I remember was the Lowell school dentist "Dr. Ritter" across from LHS on Kirk St.

Daily Horoscope for June 3

Scorpio

You need a little light relief at the moment and one of the best ways to find it today is to get together with someone who always makes you laugh. You might even want to tell them what's going on in your life at the moment so you can get their perspective on it. This will help to keep your feet on the ground and then you won't feel quite so miserable or beset by problems.
