This is the J.J. Newberry store at 6600 Hollywood Blvd. It was a five-and-dime — although as we can see by the sign above the door, technically, it was a five-and-dime-and-quarter store. I guess the closest thing we have now is the 99 Cent Store, but it’s hardly the same thing, is it? And look at that signage on the left: “Gloves, Hosiery, Millinery, Lingerie” — only two of things are regularly worn anymore.
Oh how I loved those 5 & 10 cent stores! We have a 99 cent store down the hill and they are just fine but nothing will ever replace the old Woolworth’s, Newberry’s & Kress dime stores. Thanks for the memory and love, L
