Woolworths Luncheonette
• We walked into Woolworths at Third and Pike in Seattle at 10am one morning in the late '70's wearing the t-shirts I had screened for a tribute photo of the Luncheonette at Woolworths, now long gone. I have a love of diners and vintage '50's style luncheon counters. The film, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, was at the time a box office smash, and I took the opportunity to have fun with the pun, and capture the moment with my shirts which read Luncheon Counters of the Third Kind. I set up my nikon with it's timer on a tripod and took a handful of shots.
Special Value Lunch that day: Shrimp Basket, with fries, slaw, and soft drink/coffee - $2.49.
I miss you Woolworths !
I still have my t-shirt packed away. - JD
