Check out this 1989 Commercial for the Van Leunens store in the Cincinnati area. This was taken from an old BetaMax tape of recorded television from September 1989.

Aw, heck yeah! I loved Van Leunen's. I went to the one in Newport hundreds of times. My all-time favorite store. Just thinking about all those great times, shopping with my mom, gets me emotional. Thanks for the commercial.

I've really come to dig 80s Cincinnati TV from seeking out Jerry Springer's retro stuff, then discovering what WLWT was like back then. Seems like Ohio captures the spirit of the everyday 80s more than LA or New York.
