I. Goldberg, which closed last week, has created memories for generations of Philadelphians. It was a place to peruse well-priced and unusual goods. It was a place to sometimes just hang out. And who could forget the store’s most distinctive smell?
This is what prompted to Editor-in-Chief Liz Spikol to reach out to the (Mostly) Center City Kids Facebook group and ask: What are some of your memories?
And memories there were. Dozens upon dozens of them. Here are just a few.
1.The 20-year-old bungee cord
- Gunshots or moths?
- Leather jacket emergencies
- Handling grenades
- Reaching all the way to Australia
- A prized possession
- Cool grunge clothes
8. Raincoats for Eagles games
9. The 30-year-old boots
10. All that… and the smell
