Beautiful job - almost made me weep to see the windows so beautiful again. It's been a long time since downtown was a 'destination'. Saturday was THE day - everybody dressed for downtown, and I looked forward to those weekly trips. My mother and I would spend the day at Denholm's, Barnard's, Paris Curtain Shop. We'd shop and then have lunch at Kresgees, and if I was good, the last stop would be Woolworth's and a hot fudge sundae. I was 12 when Worcester Center, which started the long, terrible slide to oblivion for my beloved downtown. Haven't been there in more than 20 years, and I live less than 3 miles away.
Here is an article that my grandmother gave on the importance of window displays, and how they relate to a stores image.
