They had their own subway platform (thru the sub-basement of the store) in Chicago's Loop.     I used that way to catch the Rogers Park "L"...    di

I think Most have been named.  

I miss the Broadway with so many others it hurts to remember.  I just feel for how much so many younger people have missed.

May Co, Broadway, Harris

I miss that you could get gift wrapped. Macys is still around but I used to be able to get complimentary gift wrap because I spend a certain dollar amount every year.

I don’t miss KMart: it was always a dump.

Sears died a long, ugly death. It was an embarrassment before it finally closed.
