Trolley cars were whizzing along 5th Avenue bringing shoppers and workers home on Christmas Eve. It was quiet on the trolley. Shoppers & workers alike were tired from a busy day. And then came 15th Street and the oooh’s and aaah’s could be heard all over the trolley as they passed Germains. What a memory, what a sight. While most Strip Malls and closed in Shopping Malls decorate for Christmas, none could match the magic of walking or riding by Germains and seeing their decorations. To those of you too young to remember the Trolley, just substitute the Bus for the picture in your mind. At Christmas time my Mother used to work part-time in Germains as did many neighborhood Mothers. My biggest treat was that I did not go home for lunch when she was working, but went to Whelan’s drugs between 12 & 13th Streets. I would sit at the counter and give funny looks to the Teachers from P.S. 124 who all ate lunch in the booths. The bowl of soup I would have cost about the same as the school lunch so I came out even. Of all the wonderful things God has bestowed on us I think that good memories of friends, relatives and especially Holidays is one of the best things we have… :santa:
-
Oh yes Warren I remember it well Germains always the high lite of Xmas shopping, My Sister in law was the Princess with Santa.
The Trolley was just a little before my time but 5th Avenue was spectacular at Holiday time, in those days the Ladies did not have to hold on to their pocket books like today most of them stuffed their cash in their bra. -
