Chicagoans grew up with a signature memory: special days downtown, shopping at Marshall Fields and Carsons I was one of those Chicagoans. Many times we took the L downtown and got off at the stop where you could walk into the lower level of Carson's. I remember the café there, the Tartan Tray. Going downtown was always a big treat.

Younkers was a brand from Des Moines, Iowa that spread over the midwest.
My mom always looked forward to visiting Younkers store for homes at Merle Hay Mall and the Younkers tea room in their downtown store.
All gone now...
