I cannot remember the Harvest House restaurant or a grocery store (woolworth or wilcos???). The H.H might have been by the Tinder Box, if i can imagine it.
Anyway..Glad to see it's still going strong. Sears and the Mexican Restaurant (i mean drug front) and a occasional gun show will likely make a great come-back when the Holly-Hood casino brightens up the infamous..270 Chicano curve. Don't worry folk's, It will retro the open-air mall effect..due to stolen A/C units, and what once had a GNC, will now be replaced with an ever-so helpful pain clinic (Accepting new patient's soon), and for the grand finale; A thrill seekers Carnival featuriing, Rattle apart Rollercoaster, Ferris Wheel of misfortune and Muslim palm readings. ENJOY...

West is a safe place, when the gun show is going on.

The Woolworths was still there when I move to Columbus in '91. It was where the Staples is today.

Daily Horoscope for June 2

Pisces

Having to bow down to convention or limitations is enough to make you want to scream right now, and you'll do your utmost to rebel in any way you can. Be careful about this because you could easily get on the wrong side of someone who has power or authority over you. It feels as though you're battling with forces that want to keep you under control, and you don't like it one bit.
