My Saturdays as a teenager and young adult consisted of going downtown to Boston, stop first at Barnes & Noble cruise the used paperback section, pick up anywhere from 5-10 used books, then look at the new book sections that interested me, then look in the record dept. Purchase my books and leave.

Then I would go next door to Strawberry Records to look at 45s and albums, most were too expensive so all I did was look to see if I could find a bargain.

After that I would get lunch at Woolworths, then go down the street to Walden's I think and look for bargain books there.

After that I was worn out especially from carrying around 5-10 books by the time I got home it was around 4:00 and I had been downtown at 11:00!
