Hopefully some of you can fill in the gaps in this story.

Two things I remember: 1) They had a great lunch counter. Why did they call it a lunch counter when they served breakfast.
2)My two older cousins purchased a Katz punching bag. Had a weigheted bottom and the bag itself was a blowup plastic. The image on the thing was the Katz cat. Sparring with the bag while my older cousin was "working" Mr. Katz. Next thing I know the feline head butted me and I ended up with a bloody nose. I was preschool age.

Which was first the Katz Kat or Felix the Cat. They are the spittin image of each other.

I remember the Capitol HIll story very well...It had a mezzanine where a lot General merchandise was sold....They had agood Lunch Counter and they made something "Phosphate". Can't remember the rest...The mezzanine was over about 1/2 of the store... and I can remember saving the straws so we could run upstairs and blow the paper off of them.....Like we were really something. But, if you needed something from a Drug Store Katz Drug had it....Always...
