Where do I begin ?
the Yoko Ono exhibition at the Everson Museum ? The crowds so crushing, I got "felt up" from behind, while waiting for the first day opening, and I got close to John Lennon as a group of people were beating on drums together !
Shopping with my Mother, as a toddler, at FLAH's, DEY BROS....whend downtown was a flourishing shopping center...well, the ONLY shopping center location for these stores, at that time. The last stop was at the KARMEL KORN store...black and white tiled, spic and span clean...the smell of freshly made popcorn permeating my nostrils...my reward for being a "good boy" while shopping with Mom ! Our next stop was taking the SUNNYCREST bus home, to our Grant Village apartment !
When I was a teenager, I LOVED going to the record store next to Lowes Theater, downtown ! I wonder what happened to the sales people and fellow record collectors ?
I attended Nicols School for kindergarten to 2nd Grade, and lived at the apartment complex that was nestled a quarter mile from SHOP CITY ! I went to MARCELLUS CENTRAL SCHOOL for a few grades, then came back to Nicols for my 6th Grade stay ! We lived at GRANT VILLAGE APARTMENTS, and at lunchtime went home, to eat, and watch the JIMMY DEAN SHOW on Tv !
