HILLS DEPARTMENT STORE

We used to go to the HIlls on Union Road and that is where my parents would get our "expensive" gifts and put them on layaway. Each week my mom would go and pay for the layaway and I would always get popcorn.

AMES DEPARTMENT STORE

Located in the Southgate plaza, we used to always look for after-Christmas deals at Ames. Also, my brother Ed worked there for a couple of years when he was in high school.

AM&A'S

For years, my parent would take us downtown to see the Christmas window display. As for shopping, usually, a present from AM&As meant a nice sweater.

BRAND NAMES

Located at the corner of Union Road and Walden, I remember my parents always taking us there to get small appliances and some of the newer toys that were available.
