And was there a first floor to a department store? We were always shopping in the basement when I was growing up.

Micky Finns in Hoboken and Union City had windows. It was the same buying and selling concept as Marshals.

No, it was Kaufmann's, Gimbel's, or Horne's in downtown Pittsburgh. And we took the bus to get there. Or else we drove to East Hills Shopping Center, long ago closed and taken over by gangs.

I know this is going to sound corny BUT I was the poorest and richest when I married the "ole boy".....A good good guy!

I got a $5700.00 tax free re-enlistment bonus in Vietnam in 1968 and have pretty much lived in high cotton ever since.
