Places you went to when you were younger but they are long gone.

Filene's, and especially Filene's Basement! Good clothing for cheap. I would always go to the store in Boston, which was a madhouse, but it was worth shopping there. I almost bought a beautiful prom dress there for $20. I'm not even a big shopper, but I miss Filene's dearly.

Haha, I saw this after I posted it about it, but I really miss Filene's! I used to go there all the time with my mom when I was younger and they had the best deals.

Dogpatch USA
It was a hillbilly-themed amusement park in northwest Arkansas.
Opened in the late 1960's & closed in 1993.
The motel at the park were mobile homes -- no joke!
As a kid, a fun weekend was 1 day at Dogpatch USA, then drive to Branson MO for a day at Silver Dollar City.

in Tulsa, I miss the restaurant The Library. They had the best boneless chicken & squaw bread.

I forgot about that! They were always recruiting students at the U of Arkansas for summer jobs! But I did not care to wear a Daisy Mae get-up. Wasn't it in Harrison?

My Dad and I had a really fun visit to Dogpatch back around 1971 or '72. Rode my first roller coaster there. We also hit Silver Dollar City which was also awesome.

I love Filene's Basement. Went to my first one in Chicago and there is one in Ohio now.

I'd love to know where this is. I thought all their stores closed in 2011 when they declared bankruptcy for the second time.

There was one in Warrensville Heights the last time I was out there. I moved a little bit south of Cleveland a couple years ago so it may have closed since then.
