You show that department stores were an important part of our social lives. That ended quickly in the 1990's. Mezzanine...from an architectural standpoint they still exist in retail stores. But, the actual mezzanine retail floor in terms of merchandise mix no longer exists. Yes, the parakeets in Woolworths. I remember them well. A friend of mine raised and sold them to the Woolworth store in Modesto. I also remember the baked apples at the Woolworth lunch counter. John What wonderful memories.

Yes, the parakeets in Woolworths. I remember them well. A friend of mine raised and sold them to the Woolworth store in Modesto. I also remember the baked apples at the Woolworth lunch counter.

Stopped in a Thrift store today and found a framed De Jonge floral art deco print in the original frame for $3.50 but what thrilled me the most was the original tiny sticker price tag that read Hale's California Stores $3.00 on the back! Brought back memories of haunting the downtown stores as a kid. My mother worked at Weinstock's at 12th and K. My favorite floor was the mezzanine where they carried Nancy Drew books and bicycles ... I loved the silver Monet charms on the first floor in jewelry too and begged my Mother for one until one Chrismas I received a tiny silver poodle ...still have it... my Mother was a divorced single Mom raising four kids on a salesgirl's salary so that charm was quite the sacrifice! In those days they wore navy or black dresses to work and your purchases were boxed and wrapped in tissue. Any trip downtown always meant putting on your best dress. We had no car so we walked about a mile downtown, first stop Weinstock's and on the way home a peek in The White House petshop where there were always puppies in the storefront window and a loud Mynah bird or two inside. Well thanks for letting me recall and share my memories of Department store magic ... Hale's, Ransohoff's ...I. Magnins...and of course there was always the lunch counter and parakeets at Woolworth's ...does anyone even have a mezzanine anymore?? Really appreciate your website.

They are always the source of many stories in our family. I noticed Norma Grove(see above reply) mentioned being in their Piedmont mansion around 1955. Would it be possible for her to contact me to answer some questions about the mansion since all but one of the family who lived there are dead or just cannot remember anything any more?
