I dont know if I'm allowed to say this in here....but I'm trying to get a newsletter going for MB to send out info on specials/sales/new items.
You can just go to the homepage (www.modbargains.com) and click on the link on the top right of the page.

Fat chance of that happening.
On Edit: AND 25 bucks to park (if you can find a spot).

When Dodger Stadium opened, there were EXACTLY 7 water fountains in the entire stadium! Walter O'Malley didn't want ppl to drink water, it cost HIM money!
Parking was FREE.
When the Angels played at Dodger Stadium (they called it Chavez Ravine), "Cheapskate" O'Malley nickeled and dimed Gene Autry to death, even charging him for half a roll of toilet paper!
Don't ask me how I can remember all this worthless, trivia, because I can't remember!

I remember the stories she used to tell...and the heart break she felt when they moved to LA...even though she had moved to Massachusetts in 1947!!! After the move she adopted the Mets as her favorite team.
The Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers.
