OMG I remember Ames

Just barely, but my Grandma would take me there when I was really little.

We also had a grocery store around here called Great American. I don't know if it was a local chain or not, I just know that it's not around anymore, or at least I don't hear of it anymore. My family used to go there all the time.

FAITH IS BELIEVING IN THINGS WHEN COMMON SENSE TELLS YOU NOT TO - Fred Gailey & Doris Walker, Miracle On 34TH Street

Daytons.

I miss that store hardcore. The one that used to be here had a name change - but didn't change anything in the store - to Marshall Fields in about 1999 or 2000, then Marshall Fields closed in June of 2005 and was torn down to build a new Target. The mall the MF was at already had a Target, but it was the old-school Target, and they wanted to relocate & remodel. THAT new Target opened in October of 2006, where Marshall Fields used to stand.

Also, I miss Best. It was basically a catalog showroom store - kind of like Best Buy, in a sense, only not really. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Best_Products The one here closed aggggggggggggggges ago.

Well I figured they might be still around, but wasn't sure. Still loved those things.

They were my favorite toy as a kid. I found one of the newer versions at Goodwill still sealed for $1.99 and was tempted to open it and play it but I sold it on eBay instead.

We had Best here in Ohio - that was my cousin's first job.

The building is still around - it now exists as a Value City.
