You are so right!

i would love to go back to beginning of 1900 and for example go to Hudsons store and see what they have. Im so curious how the food tasted back in those times, what did they served in restuarants, how sweets tasted and other products. So curious.

I was always taken to their annual Doll Show because I loved dolls. My childhood collection was beautiful. I even had a cute baby boy doll dressed in power blue.

You can thank Mayor Dennis Archer for that.

I remember that. It was magical.

I totally remember the kid's store 😊

I loved this place. We bought so much there. I remember them shipping me diapers to my home when I lived outside of Detroit. The Christmas display was unbelievable at that time.

I too understand. My Wedding Dress was from their Bridal Room. Afterwards, my mother and I had our usual Maurice Salad then onward for her Mother of the Bride Dress. Afterward - we stopped to buy chocolate filberts to take home to our family,

I think everyone had they baby pictures done by Hudsons

I remember going to Hudsons with my grandmother in the 60s we would stop at Sanders to share a Cream Puff with chocolate sauce on top.

You can see how this all evolved.

Target was founded by Dayton's Department Store in 1962 in Minneapolis. Interestingly enough, that was the same year that Walmart and Kmart were founded.

BAD LUCK FLOOR!

Hmmm... I don't know about Detroit on a comeback. I have relatives there and that place still has lots of problems. The majority of the place is still in dire straits except for areas of downtown and Woodward ave.

@@MrFullService Dont be so "Judgy" when's the last time you took a drive down there? There are new condo's for half a million selling. People I know instead of moving North, are buying condo's down there. Alof of National Events are coming to Detroit. Grand Prix, SuperBowl, Soccer

@@reneeg4501 Alot of people from Detroit and """MICHIGAN""" are moving """SOUTH""" not north, to """OHIO"" since starting our grocery shopping there since the pandemic ( everything got crazy here grocery stores closed or mask """RETARDATION"" so we went down to Toledo, better place city and state more open more """FREE""" Home of Bob Evans down on the Farm ) and after that flood 2 years ago which we are in a giant class action lawsuit, have met and talked to over 300 people who have moved from Detroit,Metro Detroit and Michigan, lost count after that , that have moved to Toledo and surrounding area like Rossford,Sylvania ,Perrysburg,Oregon etc, cheaper everything, auto insurance is like $600 a year,9 different cable services there unlike here just Comcast Xfinity, , $89 monthly you get Internet,Phone and 50 TV Channels, friendlier """NORMAL""' people,cleaner neighborhoods,better restaurants friendlier staff , better roads, better drivers not like the crazis we have in Detroit ( funny thing is the closer one gets to Ohio like Monroe County the more normal the people are more things to do in Sandusky Ohio than all of Michigan, grocery stores filled , Ohio has 10 times more farm land than Michigan, no flooding or power outages in Toledo like in Detroit, sewer system much much bigger better designed and cleaned twice a year, last time sewer system cleaned in my neighborhood was when Dennis Archer was mayor 1992. Have another fact to tell ya, Football is not like it use to be, ( and so are the other Sports) fewer people are watching it, because of sissy rules,uniforms and other """NONSENSE""" changes, SuperBowl has become StupidBowl, Grand Prix and Soccer are not a """DETROIT OR AMERICAN SYMBOL""", there are more kids and people playing into Slot Cars Aurora racing or Hot Wheels than watching Grand Prix, its ''''BORING"""😐😐😐😐😐 Soccer really Soccer, its an European Institution that Europeans are into not a true Blue American, like to see the crowds you got for these soccer games and have no idea where they are playing at, compare that to a 1960s crowds Lions vs Green Bay Packers Football Game or the Hockey Games at Cobo Hall back in the 1980s , Hell 1980s Monty Clarks Lions had probably more Fans with Billy Sims than this Soccer mumble jumbo . One of the main big differences in Ohio unlike Michigan, """THEY DON,T TEAR DOWN THERE HISTORIC BUILDINGS,HOMES ETC LIKE WE DO HERE AND PUT UP SOME SORT OF UGLY MODERN MONSTROCITY""" , like homes, they have rows and streets filled with nice sculptured with alot of different architecture style and painted homes dating back to the late 1870s that we do not have in Detroit or metro Detroit, most of the their homes and property we noticed .easily, sit a couple of feet """HIGHER""" than their streets, not so in many areas in City of Detroit. When we shop we get off on Alexis Road, down Douglas and than Laskey and sylvania stop at Rudys,Golden Coral ,Sams Pancake House on Secor and also go to Walmarts in Oregon drive thru the still running old Libbey Glass Plant make a left drive thru the old draw bridge over the Maumee than along Cherry street along the river than onto Navarre Rd, old section of Toledo still have brick streets in better condition than the road work done on I 75 south 3 years ago. No trash no graffiti, no burn,t out houses not even a single piece of paper.Also I would keep an eye on that Gordy Howe Bridge, they are having problems, they are not only behind in construction but financial problems , between Michigan and Canadian. There is also talk about Ohio building its own Bridge direct to Canada, via ship ferry truck train service that would save alot of cost,miles and time getting goods to Canada """FASTER AND CHEAPER"""than taking it to Detroit, specially from states like Ohio, PA, Indiana,Kentucky,Tenn,Florida, etc etc would make Ohio alot more $$$$$$$ than what Michigan would get , because first few years Michigan /Detroit would have to pay Canada off, most of the Bridge,material,work,etc is being financed by Canada, not Michigan.

@@richardrykala925 Wow, You're living way in the past. When's the last time you went to downtown Detroit? The reason why everyone is leaving Michigan is because it's a democratic run state. All they know to do is raise taxes, and now putting tolls on the freeways.

Yes, Hudson's was in fact a skyscraper, the shortest of the city's six 400' -499' prewar buildings. The tower contributed to the city skyline, and the roof of the building had so many additions that its roof was a variable skyline of its own.

What made you move to the burbs?

I, also agree with your comment 👍

It WAS 1969!!! In 2001 the HUDSON'S and DAYTON'S names ceased to exist when TARGET Corporation merged them into the Marshall Field's moniker, as it was the oldest and most famous of the three names dating from 1852 in Chicago.
