I don’t go in Five Below much since it’s essentially a playground for middle school kids to run wild in. I did find a neat disco ball for $5 a couple months back. But I miss Pay/Half.

One morning the phone rang, and I checked the Caller ID before answering the call. No lie, the CID read “Cherry and Webb.” I have no idea how that is even possible since they’ve been gone for over 30 years! <br /><br /><br />Also, no it wasn’t some weird spooky time travel phone call. It wasn’t a Cherry & Webb manager in 1986 was calling to say I’m late for my shift. I think it was one of those *HOOOOOONK!* “this is your captain speaking! You’ve won a cruise to the Bahamas!” Scams.<br /><br />Id. Much rather prefer the time travel phone call haha.

I worked in the handbag department and eventually rose to supervisor -- of one other person!! I also was responsible for keeping our area tidy and having the shelves full all while being a salesperson. It was a good lesson. My pay was a huge $1.15 an hour! It was a good intro to the working world.

I was parking my car in the front one day when the manager(Al Stuttard) approached me ad asked if I had heard the latest, and I replied no, what? He said the president was shot in Texas a little while ago. I asked okay, what is the punch line?<br />It was then when I heard of Kennedy's Assasination, and you could see the spire of the church he and Jackie were married in above the roof line of Cherry & Webb's. They were the fun days, and I remeber well the owners and at Christmas would decorate Mrs. Gross,(formerly Anna Cherry) house with Christmas lights and trim.<br /><br />It felt pretty good when at noon we would sit in her living room on Poppasquash Point and be served a nice lunch and shoot the breeze with her. I also spent a few nights baby=sitting the Prov store after Hurricane Carol's visit in 1954, sleeping in the presidents office on his leather couch. I remember we were threatened a feww years following the devastation of Hurricane Carol, with many other storms coming up the coast. I can tell many stories of Chery & Webbb's in New England, and all the fun times with our summer outings and other events.<br /><br />My first name is Dana, and everyone connected with Cherry's in those days will remember me.Dananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32099633145095864.post-14787063259882940972010-12-15T11:48:11.093-08:002010-12-15T11:48:11.093-08:00The store in Newport on Bellevue Avenue had 2 floo...The store in Newport on Bellevue Avenue had 2 floors.
