Synopsis:
Linger on the mezzanines of fantastic movie palaces like the Oriental, sample the confectionary delights of Krantz Candies or recklessly splurge on dress shields or mustache wax at dime stores like Kresge's or Woolworths. Allow yourself to be enchanted by the painstakingly prepared displays at Marshall Field's, but leave plenty of time to visit Carson, Pirie, Scott & Co., The Fair, Montgomery Ward, Goldblatts, Wieboldt's and the Boston Store. Above all, meet the people behind the glitter and glamour of State Street who poured so much heartfelt energy into making it the magical place that it was. From its first bricks to future projects, Robert P. Ledermann lovingly recounts the history of this unique thoroughfare.
About the Author: A lifelong Chicago resident, as well as a Chicago nostalgia buff, Robert P. Ledermann has written many articles on Christmas in Chicago, is the local authority on Uncle Mistletoe, and, along with his wife Annette, has an extensive collection of Christmas memorabilia.
