The Rise and Fall of America's Retail Palaces
Once upon a time there were great department stores, multi-story architectural wonders and cathedrals to retailing. Today, they are all but gone, victims to cultural changes in American society. Covid-19, the internet and big box stores were just the more recent villains. The casualties began decades ago. This presentation examines the great stores and their legacies. Participants can reminisce about their own personal adventures in the halls of such notable shops like Jordan Marsh, Woodward and Lothrop, and Burdines here in Florida. Speaker: Jeff Margolis
