And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Found the following info about Harvest House online at "https://danielebrady.blogspot.com/search/label/Harvest%20House" ...
The Harvest House Cafeterias were owned and operated by Woolworth’s. According to the book, Remembering Woolworth’s: A Nostalgic History of the World’s Most Famous Five-and-Dime by Karen Plunkett-Powell, “During the 1960s, Woolworth’s also introduced Harvest House restaurants in American shopping malls, and Red Grilles in their Woolco stores. By then, approximately eighty percent of F. W. Woolworth variety stores were equipped with some type of eatery. Some had small counters seating ten, while others could seat over 300. There were stand-up counters, sit-down counters, full-fledged cafeterias, bakeries, and simple soda fountains.”
The Summit Mall in Akron is still there, but the Chapel Hill Mall closed in 2021 I believe. Woolworths has ceased to exist.

Blame GOVERNMENT 100% for the fact that those prices will NEVER return.
ReplyDeleteMAN that sounds good!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing 1960-65. People were getting a buck or two an hour.
ReplyDeleteI'd be there! With fixings included. Oh my.
ReplyDeleteThat same meal today would most likely be in the neighborhood of $30.
ReplyDeleteI remember going to the Chapel Hill one.
ReplyDeleteIts nice to see they waited until after church to open up. Good way to get the Sunday church crowd.
