 When I was just shy of 16 years old, my boyfriends aunt, who owned Trend O Fashion" on Baker Street gave me a job working Saturdays and holidays.  Being a kid from the boonies I felt pretty darned grown up to be able to walk over to Ben Franklin's Five and Dime lunch counter and have a fried ham sandwich on toast.  It was my first experience with potato salad with celery chopped up in it.  Mmmmmmm.  When my son was born, Aunt Beulah walked us down to Urners on the corner and bought a stroller for Motopoet.  (yeah..he really was a little thing once.)  I remember when the bank on the corner was BofA and now is Lazlos.  At least I think it was BofA before they moved down on the corner of Monterey.  Penny's and McMahens were both there.  I believe the dress shop nearby was Christines and, of course, everyone knew about The French Shop where only the wealthy shopped and where they brought the clothes out TO you.  No rack...
