OMG, Weinstocks!!! I remember them. At the local mall, they became the "men's macy's." So, there were two Macy's stores at the one mall. 

We had the same in Modesto.

Is Blimpie still around?

There is a blimpie by me inside of a gas station, been there forever.  You couldn't pay me to eat anything from there.  Actually it might be a money laundering front.
