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've heard such wonderful stories about The J.L. Hudson Company and I wish I could have seen it. My family believes wholeheartedly that everything comes full circle and if this company ever came back now they would be very welcomed. Probably needed very much.
I stumbled on this site looking to see if Hudson's ever published a cookbook featuring some of there most desired salads, menu items, and cookies. My most fund memories were lunch with my mom at the Downtown Detroit Department Store. Shopping for shoes and walking over the shoe house during my shoe fittings. My Christmas always started with the visit to Christmas Wonderland at Downtown Hudson's. I would love to be able to find some old recipes from Downtown or Northland stores.
