ahhh yes, I remember the store pools well from my childhood.
What caught my attention in you post though was the "new vinyl smell"
Although the pools were cool, for me it was the spring that when Sears set up a huge vinyl playhouse. It was the prettiest thing I had ever seen in all of my 5 or 6 years of life! Boy, I wanted that so bad! Every time we would visit the store I'd spend the whole time inside that playhouse. It only had one small opening in the thing and that Vinyl smell was over whelming! I'd be next to passed out from the smell by the time my folks would fish me back out. To this day every time I smell Vinyl, I think of that spring.
