The on-line museum of North America's independent department stores. The museum holds all sorts of information about classic department stores which either no longer exist, or are changed beyond recognition. A few of them are still with us, and provide an interesting connection to North America's retail past. The others are presented so that they may be properly remembered as a tangible part of the lives of their customers, shopping destinations where memories were often made.
I got lost in that store as a kid. So did my siblings. That store was huge! I was always more worried about my siblings being lost, and imagined never seeing them again.... very stressful indeed! Parents would wander off & not keep tabs on us. Rhen become mad that we were lost. We'd go there more for christmas time.
ReplyDeleteI live in Oregon but my grandparents are from Detroit and I just found out that my grandfather's brother Valentino or Val Grober was a model for Hudson's Dept. Store I believe in the 1960's.? I would like to find some photos of him, if anyone has any ideas as to where I might be able to find something like this please feel free to reply at matafra113@hotmail.com thank you
ReplyDeleteI would like to obtain the recipe for the Clown Sundae served in the Dining Room of the main store as a surprise for my sister.
