Sears On Fordham Road

The classic Sears building, opened in 1936 I think, on East Fordham Road,
right at the bottom of the hill in a very popular shopping area in the Bronx.
Used to walk around here all the time as a kid going to school. The place has been
expanded into some kind of mall that includes Best Buy, Walgreens, etc. Progress is
good, but I miss those old days.


other sizes: small medium original auto

Nice to be able to look back on the good old days. We had four big department stores in Montreal a few decades ago. The names of three of them have changed and they ain't what they used to be. V

Excellent work. The composition and tone befit the theme very well. v

Great shot and thanks for sharing the memories. I remember the old Boan's Department in Perth, that was a place where you really got service. They used to keep a little card in a file for each customer so they knew exactly what your preferences were. BV

I miss too.
you are so young you will see.The nostalgia will be terrible year after year.Only the Face of your promise will give the Support to understand why it is like this,the life always running without our approbation.

Sam!! Dude, when I was a little kid my dentist, Dr Seymour, had his office on the third floor. I hated it then...but it's sentimental to me now...thanks for this gritty shot of the old place...V

Vintage feel to this...without the late model cars I would think it was the old days :-)
