The "Great Shopping Center" on the corner of 5th Avenue and 15th Street was Germain's (you can make out the ..ain's), sort of a notch up from a 5 & 10 cent store (of which there were two, Woolworth's and Kresge's, on opposite corners of 5th Avenue and 10th Street). They sold great freshly-made hot waffles with a slice of Neopolitan ice cream between two - they were wonderful - the whold main floor smelled of them, so it difficult not to succumb! They had a Santa every Christmas(like Macy's)that children could visit and have your picture taken with. My mother brought my sister and I every year for a while. They also had a counter just for doll's clothes and I would come with my allowance clutched in my small fist to buy new outfits for my dolls. I loved that store!

TERRY- GLAD THINGS
WORKED OUT. YOU HAVE A
BEAUTIFUL FAMILY.

Thanks Anthony and Jimbo. I'm glad YOU came up with the Grayshells thing Anthony 'cause that was ANOTHER question I had. And no...NO books bein written here Terry...havent ya noticed my writing style or lack of? It would cost me a FORTUNE in editing...then again, I have someone that would do it for me for free. but even with that in mind...NO books...believe it or not...I don't like writing stuff out 'cause I feel I'm not able to effectively get my thoughts across without bein face to face with someone. For me, this place is about memories...ya'all just keep on bloggin and i'll pop in now and again with a memory to annoy u's guys...Hi Festina ANGELINA!!
