'Thanks for the memories'......... We lived in a mid-sized city at the time, and the Macy's windows were a real treat for just about everyone. I believe there were quite a few moving mechanical displays, too. So many years ago............

Where I lived it was Armstrongs and Killians. Downtown shopping was the best.

@lynnie61wrote:@MershaThanks for sharing. I grew up in the Pittsburgh suburbs and we loved going to see Kaufmanns, Joseph Horne’s and Gimbels, especially st Christmas time. I loved the windows! So wonderfully decorated. Back in the day, hats, gloves, and dressed up to go downtown. Young people today won’t have those memories. Horne’s has been gone since the 90’s, but they still put a huge lighted tree on the corner of the building. We still call it the Horne’s tree.
@lynnie61I also grew up in the Pittsburgh suburbs (Monroeville)...It was always a special treat going into town around the holidays. My mom liked to go to the Tick Tock restaurant in Kaufmanns for lunch . As kids, we loved going on the escalators and seeing all the sites. The department store decorations were amazing. Great memories.

Talk about the good old days. In the 50's 60' 70's and into the 80's department stores were fabulous and beautiful places to shop. Nothing comes close to them now. The younger generation has no clue what they missed. We had the very first enclosed mall in our town (Midtown Plaza) which has been torn down. Our downtown was destroyed by the onset of Mall shopping. Now those are going by the wayside. Such change and this one makes me sad.

For those who need a department store fix, watch the PBS show Mr. Selfrige. It's a true story and beautifully done.

Loved the first floor atSaks. Everything above was hundreds of dollars. Bought a beautiful suit, but because it had rhinestones, I never wore it!

The lamps on the counters made everything look so classy and important.
