Where were these? Never heard of them. Cool pic - I would take any of those cars today!
There was one off of 75 close to Forest Park if I remember correctly. My dad worked at Delta and used to take us there. One of the original membership stores I think.
Wow that’s a memory…
Galyans. Cool Store.
Bargain Barn… if you know ya know.

Cabela's was great before Bass Pro Shop bought them out. The bargain bin room would have great deals. Open or torn packs of stuff for 75% off. Now when you go in there you'll find a crappy shirt with a BS pattern that the dead wouldn't even wear at 10% off. It's been ruined.
Richway had a great gun department. While mom bought groceries there, dad and I would
stay in the gun department.
Rich's had a great gun and coin department. While mom shopped, guess what dad and I did?
Otasco had great gun and ammo sales.
Oshman's had a gun department with gun's that were a little difficult to find elsewhere. Used to frequent
the one inside Greenbrier mall.
Boy those were the days!

Radio Shack back in the 70s &80s you could.buy a complete stereo, speakers, computer or buy a kit and build one. Building electronics from a kit was a great way to learn.
Toys R Us back when they sold toys. We would ride our bikes there and drool over the cool toys.
