I can recall shopping at the Outlet as a child in the early 1950's and they had the most wonderful soda fountain at the front of the store. Years later, in 1970, fresh out of college, I worked there as a sales clerk while paying off some bills and stayed for a year. I too took the bus from Cranston to Providence, it was either the 21-B Pontiac or the 21-C Reservoir Ave. bus and the walk from the bus stop to our house on 19 Sabra St. was sometimes bone chilling, particularly when crossing the Frankfort St. overpass freeway bridge. Such great memories...will the people of the future have any idea of what it was like ?Dr. James R. Pannozzi AP (ret)noreply@blogger.com
