When Petula Clark recorded the song Downtown back in the early 60s, it was if she was singing about our downtown in North Platte. All the stores open on Thursday nights... Wards, Woolworths, W.J. OConnor, Youngs Sporting Goods, Sears, Allens Self Service and all those other wonderful stores. Loved it. We grew up at 5th and Willow- And it was just 4 blocks to Dewey Street. I loved growing up in our small town. The 60s were just a great time to be a kid growing up in North Platte.
