You know what was awesome about Children's Palace? They sold import toys like GUNDAM figures and other cool anime stuff. The boxes would be in Japanese and everything, just with an American price tag. It was awesome.
They also had the biggest selection of those '80s RC robots. I always wanted this bad boy:
anyone remember B E S T Stores?
NY, NJ or CONN?

Caldor

I used to like all three. I remember Caldor closed when I was still a very little kid, but my mom and grandma would go shopping while my grandpa would take me to the little carousel/arcade they had and I'd play there while they shopped.
wikipedia said:Stern disagreement
Most Caldor stores had a bookselling department, and the stores would often post the New York Times Best Seller list to inform its shoppers. The posting of the list led to a spat with the newspaper in 1993. That year, Howard Stern released his autobiography Private Parts. Caldor wanted nothing to do with the book and would not carry it in its stores. In fact, Caldor would not even acknowledge the book's place on the list once it reached the top spot, moving every other book on the list up one place. The New York Times told Caldor that in order to post the list, all of the books on it had to be acknowledged. Caldor responded by not posting the list the next week.
It was kind of like a Target clone.
