Good memories! I also remember my parents taking me and my siblings to The Emporium store in the 1950's. They always had prominent Christmas displays in the windows facing Market Street, lit up with moving displays.
We also had a lot of fun on the rooftop rides for kids. Sadly, Bloomingdale's store only preserved the rotunda dome when they rebuilt the addition to the Westfield Mall.
Oh yes. The Marxists demanded White Settlement be renamed around 2008. Exactly when I forget. They even had a lame replacement name chosen, forgot that too. Well they might as well have kicked a hornets nest because the troublemakers backed down in the face of blowback outrage. It was awesome. Yes Angelo’s is still there. I love that barbecue.
