Who remembers Ames Stores?

Who here remembers Ames Department Stores? I remember going in them when I was a small kid with my Grandma up in Carmel. What did you think? I specifically remember the advertising on a strip around the top of the wall and the turquoise green employee vests...

sucks it had to go out of business. another bites the dust to walmart.

lol this question is so funny but i bought the best vacuum from Ames right before they closed and I still have it after all this time. I use it mostly for vacuuming the cars. But I do remember Ames it was a pretty good store. Wal mart just took over though.... Does anyone remember BRADLEES?
