I remember Pueblo...I was just a kid but I remember they sold baked goods and the store was pink. I also remember there was a terrible car crash and I think that is why they closed down. I don't remember Fortaleza that much, not too sure if it was before or after Pueblo but that space was all about the furniture stores for so many years. Ahhh the memories!
