Today's throwback is how in my neighborhood, Drug Emporium (1977-2001) became Longs Drugs (1938-2008), then the building became a Lowes hardware store. So this bag is not technically vintage yet since it's under 25 years old, but the chain is long gone [except in Hawai'i, where CVS kept the name on 50 stores].

Until 1965, there were two Saks department stores in Manhattan. Saks Fifth Avenue was a palace of luxury, while its older namesake, Saks 34th Street, catered to the masses with moderate-priced clothing. Located on the southwest corner of 34th and Broadway, it opened five weeks before its neighbor across the street, Macy's. This photo was taken some time in the 1930s.

The building was an elegant limestone structure designed by Buchman & Fox in the Classical style. But after Saks shuttered, it became a branch of Korvette's, a discount retailer, and in the 1980s was turned into a vertical mall that nobody goes to and sheathed in blue reflecting glass, masking the facade.

I’ve made it to the trivia big time, folks. My round suggestion was accepted. Excited to see what they do with this.

#defunct department stores is one of my favorite Wikipedia wormholes!

I am currently working at a Goodly William thrift store as a cashier and I have had a time of it.

Anyway, I was checking this customer out and she had two cds: a metal band I can't recall and Hilary Duff. I asked if she had checked the cds, she hadn't, so I checked and said that the Hilary Duff had a skip ring on it, but it wasn't bad and should play okay.

She said 'Oh, that's fine. I collect them for the aesthetics. They're so cool, like some sort of lost technology.' and inflicted psychic damage on me. I just paused for a second and I'm glad I at least had a face mask on to hide the confusion, read her total, and had to tell her we don't have a tap reader.

I need a new job asap...

#inky talks #I think that's my chatter tag #I have a few other stories but today was a day and only 4 hrs #Not a bad day just a day #Everyone there bosses included act their wage cause our manager only makes 18.60 and i make 15.75 so no one cares #I called it that cause i don't want people to find it in the main tags #One of my bosses chased someone out of the store and shouted don't come back out the doors #Oh and someone pepper sprayed themselves outside the store and had to run in and use the defunct fountain #Paramedics were called and managers were peeved it made a mess they had to clean and the lady's friend came up and asked for baby shampoo #I was like uh we don't take those as donations but we have some blue dawn dish soap and she said no it had to be gentle #And like gave me a confused and disappointed stare when i suggested she go to the target down the road like lady this is a goodwill
