Here's one you might have missed unless you get NYC television. This was a piece on the famous WPIX New York station about the opening of the Lionel holiday season store in NYC.

I know everyone has an opinion of the job Lionel CEO Jerry Calabrese is doing. And while I too, think some of Lionel's list prices are getting high, it has been decades since Lionel was getting this type of exposure and has had product in such a variety of retailers. Calabrese has always been clear about his goal to grow the sales base of Lionel, and in that respect, I would say he is doing just great.

Thanks Mike, that was fun!!
