I look around, and grown women are pulling off their tops to try things on. It was probably the first time I ever saw a woman in a bra. My mother brought me to a dentist on Bromfield st, so we stopped at the Basement during most trips in town. <br /><br />My brother worked in Filenes while he was in college during the late 1960s. He may have worked in the Basement, but I'm not sure and he's gone.Mark B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03524735496130204611noreply@blogger.com
