Or was that Avalon Bazaar? When we moved into the neighborhood in the mid 70's my parents bought some home furnishings from one of those stores.<br />I find that I spend a lot of time dreaming of Kenilworth, Bon Marche on Crowder, and the Plaza. My adult brain is trying to make sense of the childhood memories. <br />Did Kenilworth have any interior stores, or were they only outward opening.<br />My first outing in life, after being discharged from the hospital, was to Cloth World.

After 'Star Wars' had played the big theaters, it moved to Kenilworth. I saw it about once a week all summer, alternating with 'Smokey and the Bandit.' There was a cocktail lounge by the dry cleaners, I think ... the "Bitter Lemon"? I mostly remember this because I'd see my dad's service truck there, he and his work partner liked to take an air-conditioned break between jobs haha.KLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15214104731559774729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028753244746628643.post-48096715651510685722015-08-31T18:28:11.954-05:002015-08-31T18:28:11.954-05:00It is crazy that the East barely has any stores th...It is crazy that the East barely has any stores these days. I spent a lot of time at the Plaza in the early 80's and later on in the late 90's when half of the stores were gone.

Only time I ever seen my grandma slap my uncle!!! Lol. We would cut up. The wal mart wasn't the best, never had Pokemon cards lol. I remember seeing the first Speed movie at the movie theatre near Walmart and SAMs. And then I remember seeing Street Fighter at the plaza's movie. And that McDonald's inside the plaza, with the slide!!! But back to kenilworth, I miss the ball park. I didn't know the shopping center was so poppin early on. I def remember renting N64 games at the video shop in that center. By k&b. I even got a haircut from the old military guy that had a shop in there.

Those two chains merged up here in Pennsylvania sometime around 1995, but since maybe 2005 several of these stores (after about a decade of wearing the Jo-Ann nameplate) were relocated to much larger and more modern Jo-Ann stores, often in much more popular, upscale centers.Marc Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028753244746628643.post-50045775666196335382013-05-20T19:09:04.640-05:002013-05-20T19:09:04.640-05:00There was a Cloth World, carpet store, lounge, and...There was a Cloth World, carpet store, lounge, and hobby store.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18435709486770263286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028753244746628643.post-28205673378784410322013-05-20T19:07:57.901-05:002013-05-20T19:07:57.901-05:00There was a Cloth World, a carpet store, lounge, A...There was a Cloth World, a carpet store, lounge, And a hobby shop.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18435709486770263286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028753244746628643.post-86597089919817213782013-01-24T11:17:57.542-06:002013-01-24T11:17:57.542-06:00Yes, there was a Cloth World.
