In My Footsteps: A Gen-X Nostalgia Podcast
Episode 107: Remembering the Christmas Tree Shops; 1980s Cape Cod Stores We Miss; 1993 Year In Music; Bridgeport, CT(8-9-2023)
Episode 107 is filled with Cape Cod nostalgia.
It begins with a bittersweet look back at the New England icon the Christmas Tree Shops as the company gets set to close all of its stores by the end of August. Although it grew to be more than a local gift shop this chain was born and developed on Cape Cod.
Known as the 'Constitution State' Connecticut is home to more than 3.6 million people. This week we will take a Road Trip to the largest city in the state when we visit Bridgeport, Connecticut.
Time moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while you might miss it. We're going to heed those immortal words of Ferris Bueller and take a look around. It will be a fun and fast-paced trip Back In the Day as we go back 30 years to look at the year in music in 1993.
There will be a major trip down memory lane for long-time Cape Codders in this week's Top 5. We will explore some of the stores we grew up on in the 1980s that are no longer around today. Will you remember any of these?
There will of course be a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule as we take a morbid look back to the very first execution in the electric chair.
