Jerry, I had forgotten about that train! Yes, I do remember. I also remember a Blaylock's (five and dime store they called it then) out Grand Ave. in the early 50's. Any relation?

Correct. Was open by the early 1950s. Remember the Lionel train that ran at the top of the walls around the dinning room? Jerry Blaylock
