As I recall, they used to have some rather...risque' costumes that the younger set did not need to see. Am sure the SoPas city council had some sort of prohibition against displaying the racier and more "disgusting" costumes in the windows.<BR/><BR/>It is also akin to the movie theatre building code---you MUST have a certain amount of window area for egress etc. Many movie theatres now put HUGE windows in the front or side of the cinema, then block them out to prevent any sun entering the building---but they meet code, technically.<BR/><BR/>and, at least one of my great grandmothers never wore bloomers that I heard about. She was strictly a dress or skirt woman, period and thought any shorts, bloomers or pants on a woman was sacrilege!<BR/><BR/>Someone do a stop by and check it out, would you? ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926759868384604174.post-39129188802254377492008-08-30T12:55:00.000-07:002008-08-30T12:55:00.000-07:00The best is yet to come,moment by moment..The best is yet to come,<BR/>moment by moment..Auntie Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01830635103398166329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926759868384604174.post-82872178980394793992008-08-30T11:00:00.000-07:002008-08-30T11:00:00.000-07:00I believe.
