Join us in this episode (the first of a two-part series) for stories of the B & I Circus Store, founded by Earl Irwin in 1945 in Lakewood, WA. Our guest today is Earl Irwinโ€™s son, Ron Irwin, who ran the store for decades following his fatherโ€™s passing. Ron is joined by Earl Borgert, the founderโ€™s grandson, family archivist and President of The I.V.A.N. Foundation. What began as a military surplus outlet housed in an unassuming 500 SF cinderblock storeroom became a prototype for the postwar American shopping mall, eventually expanding to over 300,000 SF. Under Irwinโ€™s exuberant and tireless leadership, the B & I charmed multitudes, attracted by spectacles that transformed the store into a destination for extraordinary adventures. Recently discovered reel-to-reel recordings allow us to enjoy Earl Irwinโ€™s own voice for the first time since his death in the 70โ€™s. Woven into this audio tapestry are voices of Power of Place listenersโ€”all of whom visited the B & I as childrenโ€”recalling endless hours of reverie: Whirling on a carousel, collecting autographs from their best-loved sports and movie heroes; and discovering a revolving menagerie, including the storeโ€™s resident lowland gorilla, Ivan.

"The mallโ€”with the leased departments under one roof (so they donโ€™t have to drive to get in their car and drive to another location for clothing or another location for sporting goods)โ€”hadnโ€™t been invented yet. It hadnโ€™t really been done anywhere before.โ€ - Ron Irwin
