One of the things I miss most about Santa Fe is the old Woolworth's store right on the Plaza.
But in the Five & Dime that took over the space (this is the original sign from the Woolworth's days; the ampersand makes all the difference, doesn't it?) the spirit lives on.
Let's shop!
For cowboy hats and place mats and sombreros:
For postcards:
And mugs:
And kitschy western-themed toys:
If you've been paying attention, a seductive scent has been drawing you, step by savory step, to the back of the store.
And no, it's not the nacho cheese machine, not the burgers or the hot dogs:
Frito Pie!
Served in its own bag, as God intended.
Cash only.
Those were the days...
