Great story Oregonjam.
I remember that Caldor in the Newburgh mall. I remember my best friend and I used to go shopping with our moms, buying comics at the book store (Walden books maybe) and then going to the Ground Round Restaurant and watch Fleischer Superman episodes while waiting to eat. Were you from Newburgh?

Wow that was an awesome story. I missed out on my chance to have a Flagg but to hear that your son was able to share in that experience just blows my mind. I was fine reading your story all the way up until the part when Christmas came around and your son was surprised to see it. That's when I started getting choked up.

Thanks for all the comments. Much appreciated.
Yojoe1138 - yah I grew up in Newburgh. Graduated in ‘94 fromNFA. Names John Miller. I was just talking with some friends about the ground round. Heckle and Jeckle films and all were the best. I guess it’s long gone from there now. I used to buy comics at Walden books there as well. You could get them there after they were sold out at the comic store. |
