"the" jewerly store

This cat gets a lot of press here in our house. On the other hand the picture of Molinelli Jewelry Store takes me back to the 1950's. I often went down the street to the Chief Theater to see the show on Saturdays and walked home past this store. I a lot of times went alone and I developed a habit of going into the store for Birthdays and Christmas to get my mom a gift. I thought I did a pretty good job of picking out something and was always told I had great taste. I remember a green pin and ear rings and a red one. I wonder how good my taste really was? I know what I picked out was always appreciated and I was made to feel like I had done a good job. Good lesson in a lot of ways I suppose. Don't know why I really decided to blog about this but it is a real memory of some importance to me.
