Man, this thread brings back memories. Do ya'll remember a store called "Talk of the Town"? It was where the Hallmark store is now. I remember as a child my mother telling me they had trashy clothes there and only "loose women" shopping there. (My mom is a pretty conservative lady.) That store always was so mysterious and "sinful" and strangely attractive to me after she told me that! It's the whole "Don't eat the apple, Eve" complex that made me want to go in there and find out what kind of clothes "those" kind of women wore!! LOL
That was a spin-off of Kriesman's Ladies Wear. I think they had a separate section in their Court Street store called TOTT first, then opened at the mall. Jack and Jill Haynes ran it. I don't remember it being trashy, just what we would have called back then funky.
