I remember these, and Sears when it was on Second Street.
We used to go to the Igloo on our way home from my grandma's house every Sunday.
Does anyone remember Broadway Video? They were in Southgate for a while, and also on Radio Hill a little later. They had punch cards and a nice selection of beta 
I remember stopping at County Market and Cressler's too.
There was an IHOP where the CVS by Southgate is now (I think the CVS is still there) and a theater where I saw my first movie when I was really little. |

I had forgotten about that one! I think it was Pleasant Farms Dairy. We used to get our milk there all the time, and the gallons of fruit punch and orange drink that they had. They also had ice cream and buckets of penny candy. |
