Fox Point Shopping Center

While this is primarily a Menasha blog, the communities of Neenah and Menasha are so close geographically and otherwise, that there is bound to be some spillover regarding the surrounding area. After all, how many times have I invoked the name of Valley Fair within these pages, and couldn't it be considered more of an Appleton asset than a Menasha treasure? 

How many of us lived in one town and worked in the other, or vice versa?  Even I worked at the J. C. Penney store at Fox Point for six years through high school and college in the late '70s while residing in Menasha.  Maybe you saw me in the men's department selling leisure suits! 

Despite what some people will tell you, there was, and still is, lots of crossover (and interest) between the two towns.  

So...imagine a road trip...a shopping trip away from the ol' hometown.  We all did it.  And sing along with me.  Come on...you know you remember this:

Pack the kiddies in the car,
Come just as you are
To Fox Point Shopping Center.

Most convenient stop by far,
Only seconds from your car.

Free and easy parking, too.
The shoppers' paradise come true.

It's fun to shop
At Fox Point Shopping Center.

(How many times didn't we hear this over WNAM in the '60s, '70s, and maybe even the '80s?  Oh, for an MP3 of this.)
