Haiku Friday: Gone but beloved....
Why would anyone change the name of the iconic "Alice's Restaurant" from the Arlo Guthrie song? I don't know, but it leads to our topic for Haiku Friday this week: Businesses we love though they are gone. Department stores, restaurants, gas stations, shoe stores-- take your pick.
I can go first:
To ride the escalator
At Jacobson's, then.
Now it is your turn-- just make your haiku 5 syllables for the first line, 7 for the second, and 5 for the third...

Clancy's Drugstore,50th & France
One could take residence
There: 99 cent breakfast,toys,
Pills,potions,surprises!

Like maiden aunts they
Helped you decide on remedies.
I bought a hat there.

Downtown Center square,
I saw my name on a store:
"Angela's Jewelry"
(P.S. "Jewelry" only has two syllables where I'm from: jew'l-ry)

Good Gravy...IPLawGuy is on fire! The Spanish Medievalist is quite correct about Ben Franklin. It used to be the highlight of my trips to Cheney,Washington where my brother,Rock, lives. You go in needing nothing,and exit with a gigantic bag full of stuff.

The last true general store
John's Variety.
(John's Variety in Mound closed last year. Fabric, tools, small caged pets, housewares... I swear some merchandise has been on the shelves since the 1970s.)
