hyperbole and penney's

This was the newspaper coverage of a JCPenney opening in Eastland Mall in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, circa 1964, long closed but fondly remembered on the Western Pennsylvania nostalgia site Tube City Online

It's really funny to think how much attention was paid by the newspapers of the day to the minutae of store openings, and how much personal information was printed about store officials. They'd never do that today.

It's a creally cool look back at the past and I hope you check it out.
