Over three decades ago, I worked my first job in this Rehobeth Beach Five and Dime store. Oddly enough, it doesn’t look any seedier now than it did then. The merchandise is the same: just the prices have changed. And the flooring looks identical to that I remember sweeping when I was seventeen. Time stands still?

The Ben Franklin (which we called the Five and Dime) in the town where I grew up was very neat: at least to my ten year old self. More recently visited Ben Franklins, not so much. In fact, my enjoyment of dollar stores is probably based on my memories of Ben Franklin.
