The smell that comes to me when I think of the five & dime is that of fish food, or maybe it was moldy turtles. Remember the little turtles that they sold in the back? You could pick them up and their little legs would run away as fast as they could, thrashing in the air. At christmas time, they were dyed red & green. Poor little things.
