No, but what was the name of that toy store that sold those Good Guy dolls on the lower east side?

The commercial for Lionel Kiddie City brought a tear to my eye. I can't remember that many Joes on the pegs when I was a kid. I Loved Childrens Palace. I used to go to the one near the Dayton Mall. It is now a Value City. Speaking of CP. I got in a nostalgia mode a few years back and contacted the Planning Department for the City of Youngstown Ohio. They also had a CP. I asked them if they had any permits, floor plans, sign permits for CP back in the 80's. Yup, I scored a zoning permit that was issued when Childrens Palace first opened and a sign diagram of how the wall sign would look on the store. They also sent me a few other items that CP sent to the Planning Department back in the 80's.

First time I went to a Toys R Us was in Cleveland while visiting my cousins and go to seaworld. So there was a Children's Palace right across the street from Toys R Us. I had this vision of toys to the ceiling of TRU and when we walk in...low and behold (at 5 I didn't understand) but they were doing inventory / restocking and the shelves were empty, I remember looking for GI Joes in a cardboard box, bought a couple.
Then my parents took me across the street to CP...Holy shit. I remember walking in the front door and stopping, mouth dropped at how high toys were stacked, rows and rows of toys...an entire Aisle of GI Joes...scored a few more there as well. Gotta love vacations. |
