I was shocked to see they stalked me down and found me in Asheville, North Carolina. What a surprise! Also, I had to completely change course on my road trip due to TWO unexpected issues.

I just turned 70. I was born/raised in NYC. My first job at 15 was at Woolworth. I had no idea they were still around. I worked in the soda shop and I made rootbeer floats and they cost 10 cents. Crazy! You took me back to my childhood. I am retired and live in a tiny town on Texas but it was nice looking at all the old houses, took me back. Happy, blessed, safe travels.

You're in Asheville NC and decide to drive to Knoxville, TN. No big deal just a two-hour drive. Wow, this really gave me some perspective on how far distances are in the western US. I live in San Diego county and for me just to get to Yuma AZ is THREE HOURS! Tucson is another THREE HOURS! Gosh, no wonder I find travelling so hard!

You are just like me. As soon as I got my license I hit the open road and found out how to get to all my local towns just to look at old homes and buildings with old architecture. This video just took me back to me having the travel bug. Now I want to go to Asheville NC, just to go to the Woolworth’s. My mom and I use to eat lunch at ours, it’s been burnt down for quite a few years now. Thanks for sharing.

I live in Asheville Area and sorry you didn't get to visit longer. I grew up in Western NC. They do have a Tiny Home Community near Asheville. The "old" Woolworth store is now an art/crafts gallery and I have eaten there at the soda shop several times. They have good food and good coffee. Yeah, parking is a bear in Asheville. Speaking of bears, LOL, we have those too. They frequent my neighborhood. You should have stopped at the WNC Farmers Market off I-40 on your way back to Knoxville. They have indoor and outdoor vendors and are open all year round.
