Annny Minute Now ....

Every time I see or hear the phrase 'any minute now', it brings back memories of the commercials one of the appliance stores ran. They were usually for a holiday sale and I remember one with a lifeguard on the beach waiting for the crowd to arrive saying 'annnnyy minute now ....'. Then they'd show the crowd at the store going after the sale items.

I think it was Highland Appliance.

ANYTHING Olympia or Mickey Shorr caught my attention back in the day, WRIF, I mourn whatever you once were back in the 60's and 70's.

And I miss Olson electronics, Ark Surplus, [[ thank you Brides Maids, Ghostbusters II, we had humor) the spillway. and the A&W on Jefferson and 16 1/2. And also the Tavern basement where my Limo was 10 feet longer then the bar. Watch if your is over 6'.

Eastside Tavern?

Funny, I remember it as 'any minute now', too. The only one I found actually said 'any second now'.

Glad to here that, about Eastside. All Forumers should visit the first post Speakeasy in Michigan. The charm is in it's size.

Detroit-based W. B. Doner advertising created that generic spot that was localized for several stores around the country and filled with a special of the week and tagged with the store logo and hours.
