A Christmas article

[ezdays]

Don,Your article brings back memories from when I was a kid.

F&R Lazarus was one of the largest department stores in downtown Columbus..Every year they would sit up a animated display in the largest display window.It always feature a Lionel train..Up on the toy floor there would be another operating Lionel display with all the newest offerings from Lionel.

yeah, we had our Bamberger's in Newark. I think they were taken over by Macy's quite some time ago. I'm not even sure that people go there to shop like they used to anymore, just like all the major downtown stores in Phoenix are all go, migrating to the gigantic malls all over the city... I guess that's not all that bad, getting a parking spot in downtown anywhere has to be a real chore anyway.
