Closed for Business:  1983           Imploded:  1998

For many of us, here is the one and only location of the "true" Santa Claus and the magic of Christmas shopping.  I combined the familiar with aspects of its earlier period.  The viewer cannot help but experience flashbacks of the Salvation Army bell ringer, aromas of the cosmetics department, glass elevator doors coupled with the elevator operators and gold drinking fountains that made water seem elegant.  Dining in one of the dining rooms was a very special event.  For those that were there, these are sweet reflections.
