My father would regularly take me to Lopo's, and this is where we would obtain the Lionel Catalogs, with the 1959, and 1960 being favorites as a result. My brunswick, 5 Stripe Lionel GG-I was probably bought here.
Do any of you have any fond memories of shopping at Lopo's, and, where it was located? I know we would pass the Cunningham's Drugstore, and Sander's Ice Cream Parlor on Whittier Avenue, in northeast Detroit on the way there and back -- well, we didn't always pass the Sander's Ice Cream Parlor...Both my dad and I loved their hand made hot fudge sundaes, made with that famous Sanders Ice Cream and Sanders Hot Fudge topping!!
