When I shopped as a little girl in that 5&10 it was much better stocked and far better organized. That was back in 1960s! This vid makes me remember how the shop smelled, especially seeing the wooden floor boards. There were many more household supplies, a very substantial sewing and knitting stock, anything you would need for school, cosmetics, stationery, and far less tat.
“Hi” to Melissa and Nigel! Can’t believe this great video of our iconic 5&10 during its closing days. We were SO sad when it closed! Great memories of shopping there when our girls were tiny.
Windy, what an honor to hear from you and Laura. This store, as you know, was a lifeblood of the community. I do remember your grandfather. You could tell he took pride in, and enjoyed, having such a fine store. Thank you!
thank you for this fantastic walk down memory lane. i spent many hours in this store growing up in norhtport- 'the 10 cent store' is what we called it. at every age for any occasion the 10 cent store had something for you. end of an era when it closed. thank you!
I also remember the sounds of the door and walking on the wood floors, the cashier, and the products on the selves at the ol' 5 & 10. I lived in Northport from '67-'77 (2nd grade through high school). Thanks for documenting this memory for us!
The beginning of this video takes you through the front doors of the 5 & 10. I actually remembered the sound of the doors! It's amazing the things you remember...
Thank you THANK YOU!! What a loving, detailed tribute to my favorite store - along with A&J's grocery and the butcher. I grew up less than a ten min walk from the village. I remember shopping there at the time you filmed this, couldn't believe it was closing. LOVE how you got every inch of the place - & the cashier!! She'd been there since I was a toddler! Thanks to you we have it here any time we want a nostalgia trip, yay!
It was the "Five and Ten" to us, and indeed an important part of the community. The MOST important part was upstairs, to the left of the stairway, where a young boy fascinated with cars could buy a Matchbox car for $1.00.
I love the sound of the creeking old floors.. and the sqeeky door...If I were a millionaire I would buy it and turn it into a Five and Dime for fun.. except it would maybe be a $5 and $10 LOL! thanks for the memories..
Small-town America the way it used to be! Thanks so much for posting! What year was this? Windy, I remember Mr. Wright was the manager. Was he your grandfather? Thanks, Tom

It is sad. It brought a tear to my eyes, miss the old town & the way it used to be. It's so different now.
This was my Grandfather's store, many great memories. When I was old enough I hung the Christmas lights outside.

The 5 and dime was awesome. I always saved my money to buy matchbox cars upstairs. They has an awesome display case. I was born and raised Northport.
Wow! What a step back in time. Thanks for the video. It brings back great memories.

Dan--the Pit? We lived on Schooner, '67-'75.

Thank you so much for posting this! This truly takes me back. I was a junior in High School in 1990 and I'm there again :)
