"FAO Schwarz" Visit

Date confirmed in Chicago Tribune (“Sunday”, April 23, 1988)

The folks at F.A.O. Schwarz in Water Tower had warning that M.J. would come by at noon on Sunday, so they opened a little later than usual. After 20 minutes, Michael and the shopping crew left with a life-size Stieff lion and two lifelike Himsted dolls. They created such a commotion when they arrived that they left by the back way.
