A few weeks back, while doing some work in my house, I uncovered this long forgotten Gift Certificate worth $5.00 for Pearl’s Dress Studio at 520 Pelissier in Downtown Windsor.

Three little events I looked up on what happened the day this gift certificate was issued:
- Beatles release "Abbey Road" album
- Bolivia military coup under general Ovando Candia
- USSR performs underground nuclear test
Kevin now it's just an enclave of nice little empty store fronts what a shame!!
ShawnM - It was also the day the Brady Bunch first aired on television, and the Tigers lost to the Red Sox in Boston, 6-5.
you could stand at Wyandotte and Pelissier and look down the street to the EPPS sporting goods sign at the north end
