Hamtown would kill to have buildings of this caliber!!
Detroit's shopping district today. Need a wig? Need your nails done? Detroit's historic shopping district across from what once was Hudson's has you covered. Anyone know where Hudson's Toy Store was? Look a few frames down, I think I found it...

The back of the old Kresge's store on Woodward. One of these days I'll figure out where the front of it is!!
Those were the days - everything 25 cents to a dollar??
Here's the front of the original Kresges.
Hudson's needed more room for toys back then?
Looking north on the west side of the street.
Hudson's will be missed!
Looking south on the west side of the street.
Marshall Fields SUCKS!
The "Lofts on Woodward" is in the building which was once the old Hudson's Toy Store. The mammoth store had so many toys they needed an extra building.
Hudson's spoiled the kids back then
I remember a bustling Detroit from my childhood, as well as stories my parents told me. Will this area ever come back? I think so, but only time will tell.
Hudson's was a boom town within a boom town back then!
