School Days

School Days

Its that early september time of year when we all returned to
school in days of olde. School shopping had been done in
august, for us often Atlantic Mills. Did you shop at the same
store each year? September 1974 really comes to mind most of
all for me when I think about school days. Junior Four was
my favorite school of all:)

They first opened when I was about seven or so. I hated the ramps and could not understand that it was in a converted old factory. Even though we were "Bargain Basement" shoppers downtown I hated the clutter and madness of the bins of things all mixed up, just tossed together. Basically I hated to shop and wait, wait, wait, for Mom to have to hunt for the right size amid the madness.

Hi Skip & Bob:))

I had the opposite reaction to Atlantic Mills. I loved the ramps as a kid, no other store had em.
Also the 10 cent popcorn:)

Atlantic Mills was the BOMB! One of the first large bargain discount stores that I experienced. Certainly pre Walmart!
