What a shame for a once-fine store

Yes, and since we may be writing its epitaph, here's a memory from about 1972, when my best buddy and I were about 13 years old:

The JC Penney just across the street was where we'd sometimes buy 45 RPM hit singles.

One day we heard (probably via radio) that Olivia Newton-John would be appearing at that very same JC Penney store.

We ran over there and ogled her from about 20 feet while she sat and autographed her latest vinyl records, conveniently sold there.

We wanted an autograph, but didn't have the $7 for her LP....

But as a 13-year-old boy, it was worth seeing her.

She was about 24 years old...it was just before her career really took off.
