I lived in E.St. Louis from 1940 to 1966. I remember the Majestic on Collinsville Avenue , but the area is unrecognisesable almost, today. I remember Sears, SIUE on tenth street, the Esquire, Price’s, Hannighan’s. We were The “The All American City” in Look magazine in1958. Sight-seeing on Google Earth, nothing is the same.
Yes old Schucart"s Shoe Store and Mary Jane's Shoe Store.

I've been gone from there since 1980, but if this is on collinsville ave. and sits on the west side of street it's probably the old clothing store "P.N. Hirsh"
