“You” could buy Pee Chees at Skaggs. :)
Yes, PeeChee’s at West High in Bremerton, class of ‘65.
Must’ve not have seen em. I remember the covers they gave you at school. If a I recall correctly, you had to use school issued book covers. Nowadays I believe kids can use anything.
Yup. Me too. Pretty good teachers, as a matter of fact.
We used a brown paper bag for our book covers. Those were fun to decorate and doodle on, too. :)
Lol...gonna ask my Mom today if she remembers these at Skaggs..;-)
Yep...back before “Team teaching” took over...what a joke that was!
And I’ll ask my mom about the department stores in Maine. :)
Maybe they weren’t at YOUR Skaggs, but I can remember getting them at MY Skaggs. :) That was a fun place to go and look around. Very close to my house. Funny that was located right where the Zayre’s had been on Colfax and Ironton here in Aurora, CO. I think they totally took the Zayre’s building down and then put up a Safeway. Now the Safeway is gone and it some Mexican oriented strip mall. North Aurora, where I live, is heavily Hispanic now. Started going that way in the 90s under Clinton.
Same here. Alot of old areas went from White to Black then to Latino. Just down the street from me is an old area that is completely Latino. They are in competition now with the Asians that are moving in. Don’t say that in a bad way either.
Yup. Sturdy brown paper bag book covers. When I did that for my children, (circa 1990’s), they were aghast. Not cool, dad !
We had them, (California 1960’s -70’s).
Oh man, that was so much fun to have the home made brown bag book covers. I thought that was so cool in middle school and high school. Kids just don’t know how to have fun. :)
Never saw it in Kansas or Missouri
Iremember GEM, Gemco and Kresge’s
Yep, remember Skaggs and Osco
yep me too
Lol...I hear ya. North Aurora had a fairly good black pop. in some areas when moved here in the 70s...not huge, but significant in some parts. The Latinos have run them off. Interesting about the Asians in your area.
My brown paper bag covers usually had military planes, rockets, and tanks.
Lol. Would be fun to have kept some of it. Didn’t think back then to take a pic. I’m not sure what I doodled. Probably my favourite bands were a lot of it.
If you marked it up too much, either the nuns or mom would make you put on a new one. “You’re here to learn, not draw cartoons, young man.”
