I can just imagine some of those gay sprites spending some happy time watching the wash through the window in the lid . . . |

On first opening Aworg, I saw the POD and laughed at the bowl on Mrs. Berens head and the spilled bottle of ketchup, (good luck with the washing liquors in THAT load), then softened up seeing the little gay boy. Smiled when I came to see a thread where it had all been duly recorded. Hope everyone has a typical Happy Saturday of work and play. |

...but what a fabulous store I. Magnin & Company was. I remember their elegant Union Square Store in San Francisco...it was "pigeon proof." They had a gourmet food section in the lower level called "Edibles" with too-pretty-to-eat treats. Of course the lower-level of the wonderful City of Paris, "Normandy Lane," not only had ecquisite food but the smell rising up from the stairwell made you hungry. Even though City of Paris is now Nieman Marcus it's really a shame to see these once-great stores gone.

I, too, have fond memories of those beautiful, grand old department stores on Union Square in San Francisco. We were just a middle-class family and could not afford I. Magnin (or even Joseph Magnin) prices but it was fun to go into the stores. We used to have to dress up just to go shopping (this was the late 60s/early 70s) and I remember how fun it was to ride the escalators! (yes, I am a true country "pumpkin" as Ricky Ricardo says...)
