  1. These trinkets are beautiful and I'm glad they're aimed at helping the breast cancer patients across the country. When I recently had a breast lift in Long Island, I got a bit guilty when I realized there are women who doesn't have a choice but to remove their breasts because of cancer. Hopefully they all get healed in time.

Conway Discount Clothing Chain Closing in New York City

Before I relocated to the Big Apple, I was introduced to the discount chain while on a bus trip from Baltimore.  I recall the first time I saw Conway's signature pink bags carried by hurried shoppers in midtown. And Miss Foster, the trip organizer and a bargain hunter from way back, took me to the store for the first time. Conway store in the Fulton Mall./Tracy E. Hopkins When I moved here in 1994, my love affair with Conway continued.  I furnished my first apartment with discount knick-knacks and home goods from the store.  And much to my chagrin, in hindsight, I curated most of my wardrobe for my first full-time job from the long-shuttered 42nd Street and Third Avenue store.
