Heck, I remember when it just about ALL it had was McDonald’s on the 2nd floor and the “fancy” restaurant at Woodward & Lothrop (”Woodies”).
Am I dating myself or what?!?
I don't recall that.
You see a supermarket is going up where the Rouse building was, against the Lake?
For decades they had the yearly Columbia fair and 4th July Fireworks there at Lakefront.
No, they always had food around the fountain, and a bit down toward erstwhile Hecht’s. In fact, I remember when that was Hochschild Kohn. I was just a tyke. They also had a Friendly’s downstairs that end, and Jade Palace for ages. Cannot remember where JP was, but never forget that circular jade green entranceway.
I miss the big sit-in McD’s. Can’t blame them for centralizing it, but miss the big MCD-only.
