Everything was cheap on the 1st floor, go down the ramp and they were cheaper.

Used to sled on the hill as a kid

Letting the cart go so it bounced
on the rugs and clothing items
on the staircase going downstairs
was the thing to do!
I remember they had those 10
single 45s for a dollar..and most of the singles were worth even less
than 10 for a dollar.
UNLIKE Murphy's Album cutouts at
Independence Mall, some of which I
still have today:)
That hill would have been great in
snow:)

The place to go for pointed shoes and pegged pants/dungarees...all the "cool" cloths.

Spent a lot of shopping time there. Can you even imagine the kids today shopping at a place like that.

I always thought the tanks/machinery on the roof looked like spiders.

I think Mom used to shut us up
when shopping by buying us popcorn
here back in the day:)

...and a hot dog, that was twirling around on those metal rods in the cool hot dog machine. For a kid, that place had it all.
