5&10

Believe it or not there is an old fashioned 5&10 cent store in Bogen at the end (closer to the hospital) of their main street. I think it's a Newbury's but it might be another chain. Good to know if you forget something at home. I left my reading glasses on the plane and just bought a new pair and some other items I left at home. They didn't speak English at all but we still managed to communicate and they were eager to help.

That's a Woolworth and it looks just like the US Woolworth of days gone by... red brick, same sineage.... very surreal to find yourself in such a quait little european town and stumble into what we think of as a bit of 50's Americana.

There's also a Woolworth in Straubing... go to the clock tower and head away from the Donnau (Danube).... you'll find it there.

Thanks Dale!
