Yes they are and yes, what you said before about Vidlers sounded great. Gosh, that was a wonerful JC Penny Commercial :scww:

Here's two Christmas Famous-Barr Commercials from 1991. If you not familiar with them, they were actually Macy's. I showcased the one We used to have in South Town that was next to National on Kingshighway & Chippewa. It was a superb store. They had everything. I loved that they had a separate entrance that went underground that was an escalator. Oh I was a youngster but gosh I sure recall that when you went the escalator there was the toy isle and the first thing you saw was a ton of MOTU figures there :o Oh I loved that...they had so much there even exotic pet shop :o Sadly they went out of business in the late mid to late 80s and the building was abandoned for years till they tore it down then the Walgreens across the street built a building there and moved in plus other stuff and all of that history is gone and only a handful of people like Me are keeping it going :roll: Here's the pics from My showcase :)

This is were the Escalator was.

Yeah it was 90s apparel, IMO people looked so good in the 90s and especially the women. Times that I miss :roll:

How about that Zody's :scbat: Ah yes, I remember 8-Tracks, My Grandma's big Cadillacs had the option for them, that's how I learned about them when I was a youngster :)

Gosh, 92 was something...the commercials in the 90s were so cool, even places like Future Shop up North that I'm not familiar with too :scsm: :scww:

Yeah, I figure we'd ride out the year with post-holiday sale commercials because, why not.
