Does anyone remember the large monkey exhibit in the mens shoe department, lower level ? I believe it disappeared in the late 60's...Even for me, that was pretty wild thinking, putting monkeys in a department store as a permenant exhibit. | ||

There used to be a monkey cage and an exotic bird cage at Universal City in the late 60s. | ||

Seriously this is opening the door to some crazy inappropriate responses. I am just saying that when I read the title I thought of the wrong thing. | ||

Now that you mentioned it, I think there was one at the HH&S at Eastland | ||

Where have all the monkeys gone? Long time passing. When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn? (sorry, Pete) (Message edited by Ed Golick on September 10, 2006) | ||

Ha_asfan...I remember those monkeys at the Northland HHS well. Aside from getting caramel corn at the Nut House, the other big highlight about shopping at Northland for my brother and me was going to HHS to see the monkies. (Message edited by gary on September 10, 2006) | ||

Nothing says high-class shopping like a cage full of monkeys. | ||

At the age of 6, I didn't know or care the first thing about high class shopping. | ||

There is a place at Great Lakes Crossing called Jeepers! It seems like a Caesarland or Chuck E. Cheese's. Their slogan is "Food, fun and a monkey!" I have yet to see the monkey. | ||

There was a junkyard on E. 7 Mile Rd, west of Outer Drive, that had guard monkeys (either macaques or baboons) back in the 1960-70s. Meanest creatures I've ever seen, kept in a large cage. I'm sure nowadays, they would have been busted for animal cruelty. | ||

True. That'd make for an interesting episode of Animal Cops... |
