Thread Name: Non- music: Pear's Soap?
Subject: RE: Non- music: Pear's Soap?
When Woolworths went out of business it really hurt a lot of the older people here in Boston because it was the only place they could buy their favorite remedies/soaps/cosmetics etc. The we lost rent control and most of them lost their apartments, too, but that's another story. One of my library patrons who's managed to hang in there tells me that the little bodegas are good about stocking the older remedies and things, but you need to look carefully because the labels are mostly in Spanish.
