Another stop that Lucy made on her Jamestown trip on February 6, 1956 was at Bigelow’s Department Store, a place she hung out at frequently during her youth. Writers incorporated the 'Bigelow's' name into many Lucy scripts for her series as a place for the Lucy character to shop. The store is no longer in existence, but I was able to find a trace of it on what was once part of the original building in an alley. While there, '...the couple was whisked away to Bigelow's store where another capacity crowd awaited them. Lucille accepted a pair of Siamese kittens from Fred Bigelow and promptly gave them back again. She had heard that the store manager was already fond of the kittens.'—Jamestown Post Journal, February 7, 1956. #lucilleball #desiarnaz #ilovelucy #departmentstore #siamesekittens #gift #regift #storemanager #hangouts #jamestownny #scripts #waynelvslcy #bigelows https://www.instagram.com/p/CoVckT_PtXx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
