I grew up in Syracuse, but have lived in New Hampshire for the past 34 years. My son wanted to shoot pictures of old architecture, so when visiting town, we were driving around downtown. I have such wonderful memories of taking the bus from the South Side to downtown to shop in all of the stores - Dey Brothers, Sibley's, Flah's, Edwards, The Addis Company, The Lerner Shop, Casual Corner, Chappell's... I vividly remember all of the floors, each designated to different departments, and the elevators operated by attendants who opened and closed the big doors and called out each floor as it approached. So many great memories of shopping days gone by.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723065623705340751.post-39679573625126846352018-12-27T23:38:29.622-05:002018-12-27T23:38:29.622-05:00E.W.

Although non-English-speaking, she knew the Liverpool bus Schedule by heart and we were often there at 10:00 AM when the doors opened.<br />Just this past week, I shared with my sons her 'Charge Cards' that I found in one of her 'pocketbooks' after she passed. Included are:<br />DEY BROTHERS<br />SIBLEY'S<br />FLAHS<br />Lerner Shops<br />CHAPPELL'S<br />SF of FS - The Syracuse Family of Fine Stores Courtesy Card:<br />ADDIS Co., CHAPPELL'S, Edwards, FLAHS, PARK-BRANNOCK, WELLS & COVERLY <br />and an"Identi-plate" from Onondaga Savings Bank<br /><br />All the Account #s are between 6-9 digits except for Lerner Shops which has 12. The irony here is that for the past 28 years, I have worked for the world's largest electronic payments processor; and have only worked with 16 digit account numbers. My sons also pointed out their surprise that of the 7 cards, only 2 had her name on it; the others were Mrs. Frank ... Finally, 3 of them had her full address on them, which in today's identity theft environment would be unheard of!<br />Of course, they're not worth anything anymore; but the memories of walking up to the windows with my Mom and hearing her say "I'd like to pay my charge, please." - Priceless!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723065623705340751.post-86169792851913782562016-12-28T16:32:34.891-05:002016-12-28T16:32:34.891-05:00Hello, Nancy!

I worked in Shoppingtown near Dey Brothers in the 60's and early 70's. I was just thinking about the outstanding gold/pink Christmas boxes they use to give with every gift. It was a real box, expensive one, not the collapsible junk you get today, if you even get one. I started work as a gift wrapper and had to have made hundreds of bows on the bow machine. I can remember wrapping individual hankies given as teacher gifts...each one getting the signature gold box. Just wanted to know if anyone else has that memory and misses the quality that use to be the norm.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14874761189343871220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723065623705340751.post-36520116923102303552016-09-02T09:30:09.069-04:002016-09-02T09:30:09.069-04:00Shopped at most of the downtown department stores ...Shopped at most of the downtown department stores growing up in Syracuse from 1945 to 1966. one department store not mentioned is Wells & Coverly.
