Old department stores

[DavidCoppola]

Guys, remember JM Fields, Two Guys, JB Hunter, Gem, etc?

I will always remember Two Guys, they had a bowling alley in the back, I used to even remember the Captain Action line there when it 1st came out, later the Megos. I also remember buying Super 8mm movies there in the 70s.

I love these threads!!!

I submit the dearly missed Woolco Department stores. they had the best toy departments!

Consumers Distributing was another dearly missed source for toys.
