Message: [QUOTE="Cheriehoop, post: 2481963, member: 127"] Funny those are my most vivid memories too. Addis and Flahs seemed to be a little bit fancier,smaller and more exclusive stores than Deys, Edwards and Chappells back then. My grandfather was a Syracuse policeman and when my grandmother would bring me into these stores, these men would nod and acknowledge her. I'd ask who they were and she'd say he's a 'store dick', a friend of your grandpa (off duty policemen who were store detectives). As a kid when I'd see a man in those stores and grocery stores, I'd wonder if he was a policeman or not. You are right - memories are funny when you are a kid. [/QUOTE]
