A trip down the capital's retail memory lane.

A blast from the past: A circa 1970's photo of the upper level mall entrance to the Woolworth's store in Northway Mall in Pittsburgh, PA. The lower level of the store was located in the old 1953 strip mall part of the shopping center (photo coming soon). You can see the lunch counter in this photo. Today Marshall's occupies the space where Woolworth's was. I believe you can also see a Pac-Man arcade video game case thingy beneath the second W in the Woolworth's sign so this might actully might date back to the very early 1980's; maybe even the very late 70's.
