Who remembers

I remember eating at the Woolworth's in Dixon, Illinois when shopping with my mother. I checked on line and it opened in 1914 and closed in 1988.  Which means she may have eaten there when shopping with her mother.  This photo is not that store—it wasn’t that large, but I think they all looked similar.  The Dixon store had a bad fire (according to Lee Co. history) in 1943, and was rebuilt.  As I recall, there was also a Woolworth’s in Champaign, Illinois.
