My Mom and Grandmother would make weekly trips to at least one of the stores. It seemed like we were gone all day. The one store I didn't mind going to was 2 Guys. They had a couple of miniture bowling lanes there and I would bowl a few games while they shopped.

Two Guys from Harrison and Great Eastern Mills were my favorites. That pet shop up at Two Guys was unbelievable. You could purchase anything from a Baby Alligator to a Monkey there back in the day. You name it they had it. I guess this was the place where people years ago bought there pet Alligator only to let it go down the Sewer or let it out into a Brook when it became to hard to handle.

Remember that Alligator that they found in the Brook under the bridge as you crossed into Middlesex off of Union Ave back in the day? That was a Two Guys from Harrison Alligator and if I had to bet on it GIA was the one who let it go into the Brook. biggrin

I worked at Korvette's the spring/summer of 1974.  I was working the night Nixon resigned; the store was empty and all the employees were in the back of the store in the TV dept. watching the address.  Anyone could have helped themselves to the jewelry dept. and walked out of the store without being seen that night.
