I remember shopping at JL Hudson’s store in downtown Detroit with my parents in the 60’s during Christmas time. The memories come rushing back to me every year when I watch “A Christmas Story”. We would actually get dressed up and spend the day shopping there, not like today. I use to love watching the mechanized elves in the window displays, and I was actually a walker in a couple of the JL Hudson’s sponsored Thanksgiving Day Parades. They sure didn’t have the stocking-clad gay dancers like todays Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parades.
Sadly, it was a different America, and the Lions have pretty much always sucked...
That sounds like a lot of fun. /s :)
