Guest ONYX Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 [quote name='Fulcher_33' post='500093' date='Jun 13 2007, 08:13 PM']Nah, that ain't right. McAlpin's never had any connection to Shillito's. Shilito's became Lazarus and then was eventually bought out by Macy's. At least some of them were. Pogues was a totally different store. Actually there was a Pogues downtown on 5th street and Shillito's was on 7th and Race. Dilliards was also an independant store that was opened by John Dilliard. Dilliard's did acquire a few McAlpins stores in the 90's but they had nothing to do with Shillito's.

MULLY Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 You know, Jason, at this point in my life I'm not a big baseball fan but when I was a kid the Red's were the shit. God only knows how many times I was at Riverfront watching the Big Red Machine do their thing. Johnny Bench, Tony Pérez, Joe Morgan, Pete Rose, Dave Concepción, George Foster, César Gerónimo, Ken Griffey, and Sparky Anderson running the whole show. For what it's worth George Foster was my all time favorite Red. I remember back in the late 70's going downtown to the Red's gift shop, I seem to recall it being downtown near Fountain Square somewhere (at that time) and buying a George Foster jersey with that big 15 across the back. I wore that shirt to death when I was a kid. I was 10 in 1978 so it must have been around that time or a little before. I also had those 8x10's, that I mentioned before, that they gave away at Kroger's. There was a new one each week. I think you got it from buying Barq's creme soda or some shit like that. My grandma would get them for me each week and when I finally had all of them my grandpa took me to Riverfront and we were sitting right over the dugout. I got all of those photos signed before the game. Unfortunately I have no idea whatever happend to those photos. If I could turn back time I'd put them away somewhere really safe. How cool would it be to have those framed and hanging up now? MULLY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I too will never forget that day. A Tornado went right over our house and ripped off our awning and part of the roof (we were eating dinner), and touched ground about a halfmile later.

|Bunghole| Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 "Hot Child In The City" was my favorite song when I was 7. Kasey Kasem was the shit. I remember huddling around my radio to listen. I liked Andy Gibb. "Shadow Dancing" was the first record I bought with my own money. I found Kansas' "Point Of Know Return" in someone's garbage in 1978 and still have it. I lived in Hawaii then. Craziness. My family and I would go to the beach EVERY Saturday and Sunday, as there wasn't one any farther away than a 45 minute drive. Killed lots of Portuguese Man O' Wars by fishing them out of the water with my boogie board and burying them in the sand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
