I'm not very blog-literate :-)<BR/><BR/>I think all of us the from the old neighborhood have shopped there. It was so "in vogue" when we were in high school to tell your friends "I got it at Red, White, and Blue". Susan, Liz(Lightheart) and I used to buys lots of stuff in there.<BR/>In a regular dept. store, you kind of know what you'll find, so they're a bore. I'm not extremely fond of shopping anyway. However, like you and Nana, I love the thrill of the hunt in a good thrift store. I especially love to hunt for my jeans like that. They're so much more comfortable after they've been broken in by someone else. Also, like you, my mom always had to live on a budget, so we learned the fine art of thrifting when we were young. I have an aunt and uncle who are wealthy, but their favorite past time is to go to yard sales, and flea markets. Once during a summer trip to visit them in Tenn., they took me on an adventure. Every year in August, there is a 4 day yard sale that begins in Gadsden, Alabama and follows highway 127 all the way to Unity, Ohio. We did 2 days and only went about 50 miles, we stopped so much. It was really fun. http://www.tourdekalb.com/yardsale.shtml<BR/>There's a nice Goodwill now on Miami Gardens Drive and 19th Ave., but nothing will ever replace the Red, White, and Blue store. It is, in part, the memories...<BR/>And, as always, thanks for the memories!<BR/>XO,<BR/>~SherylAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
