What a wonderful shop.  I love these places.  If only I could walk through and look without buying.  Of course I need that lure.  Of course I can use another trap gun.  Of course, I can use another hat.  Of course. . . . . .

Jim lived on Peters Drive in Waukesha in the 1960s.  I believe he had a store in Waukesha in the 60's.

Glenn, I love shops such as this.  I'm afraid it's a little far away from me but next time I'm in Wisconsin,,,

 

Around here it's boat and fishing shops.  Those old timey stores sure do beat the big new everything stores don't they?

Now I can picture  where his store was... but I don't remember the streets names.  His daughter Tammy (?) and I were friends and we walked to his store after school at St. Joseph Elementary School at least once.

Glenn,

Wow, Maureen has a great memory, I forgot about that place and now I remember it; Jim had a store across from the Waukesha State bank and next to the Bus depot right next to the Fox River. "Jim's Sporting Heaven" was a place my Uncle Smiley liked to go to. It was on Clinton Street just south of St. Paul Ave. and faced Bank Street. I went to a grade school called "Barstow" and it was right down the block off of St. Paul and Barstow.

Jim's store was the place to go when in Waukesha. I grew up hunting, fishing and trapping thru my father and a lot of assistance from Jim and his store.
