It's closer to my house, I can walk it (downhill all the way!) and, besides, they have installed a soda fountain! Believe it or not, at my age, I had my first egg cream at this local soda fountain!Granny Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07302978680897139954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-80396126410497104292007-11-27T04:27:00.000-07:002007-11-27T04:27:00.000-07:00I hope they don't just paint over it. -sigh- But...I hope they don't just paint over it. -sigh- But I should not be so pessimistic, should I? <BR/><BR/>And if you have a non-chain drug store in your area, may I put in a plug for purchasing from it? Non-chain drug stores are fading away. For many reasons, but a lot are the same as the small 'mom & pop' corner grocery stores, have disappeared too. Big chains can buy more cheaply in bulk and etc.<BR/><BR/>I do so hope you get what you can, from this old store. :-)<BR/><BR/>Mari-Nancismilnsighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17207943167502354530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-8794139829229825102007-11-26T11:48:00.000-07:002007-11-26T11:48:00.000-07:00meggie -- I've no idea what they're up to -- obvio...meggie -- I've no idea what they're up to -- obviously either making $$ or cutting corners. I'd like to think the firebird remains.<BR/><BR/>melanie -- which is why I love our little airport, with the <A HREF="http://walkingprescott.blogspot.com/2006/07/skyway-is-my-way.html" REL="nofollow">funky cafe</A> & its model airplanes hanging from the ceiling. I just know that our unimaginative city fathers would prefer a chain restaurant in there. I shudder everytime they talk about "upgrading" the airport!Granny Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07302978680897139954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-18931971605352021712007-11-26T09:19:00.000-07:002007-11-26T09:19:00.000-07:00Oh, now, what a pity.

You know how old movies show people arriving at a cavernous, central train station lobby where everybody seems to end up? That's what this part of Sky Harbor used to feel like: welcome to Phoenix, like nowhere else in the world! Now it's just another place in another McAirport.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-46689939693708382007-11-25T23:57:00.000-07:002007-11-25T23:57:00.000-07:00I hope they keep the mural.
