Once Filenes Basement opened the pathetic branches that was the end. I visited one branch,one time, and walked out——never to return.
Back Bay had all of the smaller shops like Best and Co. and Peck and Peck,among others.
My mother was a FB shopper years ago-—she was a world class shopper and I detested shopping. I think she thought there was something wrong with me.:-)

It was a special era. Good memories. Good times.
