I recall to family owned stores in Joyland, one at Holloway and Junction and Addisons at Adams and Holloway, across from Durham Memorial. When a kid, the sandlot gang would walk to Addison, owned and operated by an elderly family, from Holiday Hills, were five cents bought a pack of baseball cards, ten cents might buy a bottled soda. Those were fun times
