I don't recall the name of the place, but when I was a kid, it was an appliance store, WTTM used to broadcast from there once a week and they would have movie stars who were playing in New Hope there as guests on the broadcast, I got a few autographs, old timers, William Bendix, Joan Bennet, Dana Andrews... too bad I didnt realize that things like that would have possible value years later, I have no idea what happend to my autograph book,

Steve,

There were "big deals" outside this place from time to time, possibly for the appliance store.

When I was a tyke, we walked over on several occasion because of the kleig lights. First time I saw these out of my back window they scared the cr@p out of me. Projected onto the bottoms of low clouds, I thought for sure these were flying saucers!

SJB. well buddy, around Genesee and Clinton, they very well might have been flying saucers or just high Hungarians :-)
