Wow, "Zayre" and "Gold Circle." I though those places only existed in my imagination! I remember going to those stores with my grandparents when I was a kid. (chuckle) You're right about those old blowers, though. Wouldn't everything within 20 feet of them be fluttering in the breeze, too?
Love the big ceiling air conditioner. Haven't seen one of those in years. Everytime I went to Zayre or Gold Circle as a kid you could hear these things a mile away. And they gave off a funny small. Or so it seemed.
