I'm looking for any images of the early Child World store signs (with the globe with kids dancing around it, I think). This was the main logo for the store for many years and should be part of its history here. If anyone has an image please post it here or send me a message; Blipblip
The Best Buy in my area (Southgate, MI) used to be a Childrens Palace, I remember it from when I was a kid. Also I think I still have that Video Toy Chest, it was such a cheesy video.
I just discussed Child World with a co-worker who worked at one in Massachusetts years ago, and we looked up the entry here together. She swears that Child World was NOT founded in 1974, as the article claims - she worked there as early as 1971, and met her husband-to-be there at around that time.
My own memories tend to cooberate what she says, because we used to drive past (and visit) Child World frequently when I visited my grandparents as a child. I'm sure that was before 1974.
Incidentally, my co-worker also says that there was a different Child World mascot before Peter Panda - she thinks it was a genie. That's an early-childhood memory for me, but I'm pretty sure that I remember that genie, too. PMaranci 13:36, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Image:ChildrensPalaceLogoPNG.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Child World was indeed around before 1974. The article is wrong, like so much on Wikipedia.
