Jim's Party Store Tee Shirts! Man-o-man...have not thought about those beautiful shirts in decades! They were the go-to fashion item for the casual/cool teen in the '70's. Can you replicate and sell them on-line Jim? Anyone able to post one of those on this site?

I remember Jim's. Loved going in there. What a great store that was. Funny seeing that picture of Lancer"s Wine. Never found much wine that I liked but Lancer's Vin Rose in those ceramic type bottles was really good. Across the street from Jim's there was a Chinese restaurant that we liked, and the Saki was good too.

what was the restaurant that this became? i remember as a kid it was quite popular with the after-work crowd.
