People close to my age (41) may also recall the old K-TEL commercials, always tagged with the places one could buy their albums ... Woolco was a regular on that list, always said in a fast, staccato pace. To this day I can only hear the word "Woolco" said in that style. Woolco's slogan -- "We want to be your favorite store" -- sounds truly quaint nowadays. Today, WAL-MART couldn't care less if they're your favorite store. They know, in many places, they're the ONLY store. |
 But please, don't make me wear 1976 clothes. |

The Third Avenue Putt-Putt. I couldn't begin to count the number of times my grandfather took me here during Summertime and other holiday visits to Birmingham in the '70s. It even had the original neon Putt-Putt sign, with the animated ball. It's long gone today. But one heart-wrenching reminder
lives on: in the back of what used to be the parking lot, a small section
of the old decorative fence remains, still in its orange and white color
scheme.
