Hi everyone! This month is Movember. It’s an annual event to raise awareness about prostate cancer by growing facial hair. It also highlights other men’s health issues. I will shave it off when it gets really itchy.

Celebrating a special milestone, 60 years ago this month, Polk Brothers Appliance Store first opened its doors at the Ford City Shopping Center in Chicago. And just look at the charming row of Santa Clauses displayed inside the store!
