A Christmas Story. When I was a kid, many years ago, there was a Sears store on South Grand Avenue in Springfield, IL. I think it was a 3 or 4 story building with the main entrance in the back. We always went there with mom and dad to go Christmas shopping. When you entered the store the first thing you saw was a hot dog stand that smelled so good and served draft root beer. Mom and dad always made us wait until we were done shopping for our dog and beer. When you walked in the store the biggest candy counter Id ever seen was on your right. They would let my brother and I get candy to shut us up while they were shopping. It had the first escalator Id ever ridden on and boy did we ride it. I miss that store. My Illinois friends probably remember that store. Its now a State of Illinois building. Too bad. I have some great memories of that store. Anyone else remember?
