Wow yeah I remember them!! Every payday, I would head to the Casual Corner in downtown Baltimore. They had some great stuff in the 70's especially. I must say, I looked like a model strutting in my platform shoes (at 5'11" 125 pounds) back in the day. I wore a "Dorothy Hamil" haircut and dressed so well. I had so many clothes. Also, Baker's shoe stores...another icon. I still love my high heels and do wear them to work with a pencil skirt on meeting days. Other than that, jeans and workout clothes ha! I should have saved some of those blazers...they really never went out of style.
I actually said "wow" out loud when I read Baker's. What a blast from the past. I bought my first pair of work pumps from there after I graduated college. Thus the start of my "pump toes" - toes jammed in heels 40 hours a week.
Were they the store that had dyables - they'd dye satin pumps to match bridesmaids dresses?
@scatcat YES!!! Omg I probably had 6 pairs of shoes dyed to match the bridesmaids dresses...they had the best shoes 👠

Unless you are from the New England area, you might not have heard of Spags in Shrewsbury Massachusetts. Interesting store, loved going there growing up and into my adult years.

I really miss Steinmart. It was close to my home and I shopped their all the time.

One of my favorite stores that closed is Bombay Company which always had something I would buy...Pier 1 is very similar to it...both were great stores!
Also, Marshall Fields & Carson,Pirie Scott, both Chicago stores that have closed were just the best with wonderful Customer Service!
I really miss all of the good old stores that have closed over the years...

There are so many --- I can't even just list one. Bon-Ton, Ross, Tuesday Morning, my local Macy's, my local Penney's, Sears, Fashion Bug, Murphy's, Ben Franklin, K-Mart, Kauffman's, National Record Mart, Fox Moore (sp). Many, many more I can't think of right now. There's not much left, really!

We lost Penney's and Shopko. All that is left is some junior women's store and Walmart.
