----- Original Message ----- From: "Billy G. Spradlin" > Newberrys - were they mainly an east coast based chain? Growing up in the San Fernando Valley, there were 2 Newberry's stores that I remember. I always kinda thought they were all over LA (as a kid actually thought that they were all over the world). How about The Akron? Got my first acoustic from an Akron store when I was 10. Another cool store I remember was simply called "Stor", was one of the first 'big box' models that was ahead of it's time. I do remember they had some of the lamest commercials tho. Ken
