They do have a really good logo. I wonder if they're still in business...

ReplyDeleteI never even consider wanting to buy a uniform from a place of business myself! There's always someone out there collecting that stuff!
ReplyDeleteHere's a local news report about the first Gulf war featuring the arcade!
