OK...related question to what places you miss: do any department stores still have active vintage cafes in them? Like, I know that Nordstrom has bistros (I'm a fan), and I think the Macy's in NYC has one or more restaurants, but are there more out there? In Philly I think I remember eating in a Lit's and a Strawbridge's, but those are long gone. Columbus had The Chintz Room and a few others in Lazarus, which is also gone. Thanks!

My local Wal-Mart hen they first opened had there own cafe. It served burgers, baked potatoes with ham & cheese, loved there taco burger,
Then they decided to tie into Marvel movies:
Walmart Daredevil hotdog poster (1).jpgWalmart Daredevil hotdog poster (2).jpg
Walmart Hulk hotdog poster (1).jpgWalmart Hulk hotdog poster (2).jpg
When I eat beef brisket hotdogs I add in bulleye bbq sauce because of the Daredevil poster.
When they moved across the street to open there supercenter they stopped with there own dinner and let in a McD's. It's gone and now we have a Domino's.Last edited by monitor_ep; May 7, '22, 8:17 AM.Visit my wiki site:

Finally someone said Woolworths! We used to have so many back in the 80's. I will could do a whole article declaring my in love of the place.
But I digress...
There were two huge ones on State Street here in Chicago. The one on south state had a cafeteria. The one three blocks up the street had a counter and a table area. At the cafeteria one day feeling a bit Peckish, I decided to have the Meatloaf and smashed potatoes. Well, In my entire 56 physical years here on the planet, I have NEVER eaten a better Meatloaf In my life. Nice and Tomatoey, the mash with the right amount of gravy and they had these HUGE dinner rolls that were just so soft. I finished my meal and. I went back up and Reordered the same thing all over again!!! It was that good. Over the years, I would always make sure my trips downtown would be have to enough time to eat at Woolworths. To this day, never had meatloaf that good or even anything close.
😂
Another place another time.
I won't even get into the Tacos they made there. I would end up bawling all night. 😭

J.J. Newberry's !!!
Forgot about them !!!
The one by me had their toy section downstairs.
In their model kit area, they had model kit ship that was at least 4 foot long.
Not sure what it was, but re-thinking it was probably the TirpitzComment
