Isn't it interesting how two individuals can have totally different memories of the same thing; John A. Browns? My mother was a denizen of the Brown's Bargain Basement which was in the Park side. She may have been intimidated to enter the front door with two kids in tow, or maybe her routine of hitting the shops led her to the Park side.

I distinctly remember that the Cravens entry had to be made only from the ground floor. In it was the young girl's fashion department, which irked me but delighted my older sister. Now that I think about it, the Renaissance, nee Cravens, still doesn't have entries on other than the ground floor, as per the sky way (Underground?) from First National Center.

Thanks for the shot of the Judy Parade. I gave my pennies for her, and mourned her passing.

I'll see you on the 23rd.
