Acme Style is, once again, very excited to present another photo sent in by Michael Lisicky. This store was located on the corner of 43rd and Locust in Philadelphia. Michael took this picture back in 1996. Closed and boarded up by then unfortunately but great to see the tower and parking lot sign still intact. The parking lot sign is one of the first outside signs that I have seen with that version of the logo. I had only ever seen that logo on packaging, uniforms and in store signage.

Here is the store today... CVS... now that's a surprise! Certianly a world of difference since it's Acme days. This is a screen grab from Google's Street View just about from the same exact spot where Michael took his picture!
Here's a Live Maps shot that shows how incredibly small the store was. Were the aisles short and many or long and few?
