TT... here's a little "background" info on downtown window lights that you may... or may not know. When I was a child a long, long time ago (in the 60's), my father was the Advertising Manager for the old Miller Bros. Dept. Store (not the modern-day Millers, old locally-owned Miller Bros.) Lots of downtown stores basically had a "battle of the Christmas windows." Of course this was in the days before "malls" and downtown was THE place to be, and the only place to shop. I spent many nights downtown with my Dad helping set up Miller Bros. windows. They hung sheets or paper up to block the view while the windows were under construction. It was a really huge deal when all the downtown stores "unveiled" their windows. Of course when "malls" came along and downtown died, the Christmas windows tradition died with it. I am so pleased that somebody with EPB "remembered" and you and others brought some of my best childhood memories back to life. Thank you!
Some more old downtown trivia... does anybody here remember "the tunnel" that ran beneath Market St. between Miller Bros. and "what store?" It has been walled off now.
