Bon Marche is now Macys. I barely remember I. Magnin when I first moved to Seattle, but they had very exquisite clothes in of an older sophistication. R.I.P. Burdines. I will always remember you. School shopping in the 80's with my mom will always have a special place in my heart.

B. Altmans in NYC was one of the best and one of the most beautiful stores in the city, charged the fuck out of that credit card, then they closed and still wanted their money, how dare they. 
And A&S (Abraham & Strauss) was the Macy's of that time. A really nice store, very expensive for the time, again charged the fuck out that card.
And Spiegels catalogue was the shit back then, it had some decent stuff and very expensive for stuff that wasn't worth it, at least I didnt think. I still have a pony hair make up bag I ordered from them, Ive had just about every credit card. Oh the damage. I have since learned to stay w/only 2 credit cards and they are for absolute necessities.
Cheap stores in Brooklyn, NY:
Korvettes
May's
John's Bargain Store
Sears always and will be a cheap store imo I dont shop in and have never been in one, only ordered a stove from them in the early 90's through the telephone. No net service then, and if there was I didnt have it. Good stove, but only lasted 8 years. Worth the 300.00 bucks.

^^We had that here to and Something Else, which was considered high end boutique  , they are still around. And Pretty Girl for the cholas, such cheap, cheap clothes, and it's still around too. And then there is Forever 21, which I have yet to go to and I dont even know where they are, I dont even know if there is one in Brooklyn.
Express was cool and is still decent for a quick piece of something you need in a hurry.
Oh do you remember Lerners, Plymouth, I loved Plymouth. Wow that was early 80's shit.

Hmmm that one I dont remember at all, never even heard of it, was it only in Malls, I didnt do malls to much. Now I never ever go to Malls. Our closest is Kings Plaza, but the surrounding neighborhood, just make sure you are armed w/at least a gun in your back belt and one in your shoe.

I think the majority of 80's who were old enough were spending their times in malls. I didnt like em for some reason, but I went a few times. Kings Plaza was nice way back then, but has changed so drastically over time and I went to New Jersey to a few, they were much better than the NYC ones.
I couldnt imagine them now, full of Hot Topics, Abercrombie, Hollister, Ed Hardy all bullshit stores. Oh and isn't there a JC Penny, Sears and Macys in all malls. They are the staples, correct?
The only thing I like in a mall is the Homemade Pretzel counter and the shoe stores, the better ones, but it's been forever. I prefer going to the outlet stores, there is one in Westbury, Long Island, that's pretty cool.

for the cheap stores list: Bradlee's Caldor Clover Every major electronic store seems to be a ponzi scheme. How long till Best Buy goes the way of: Circuit City The Wiz Crazy Eddie Silo Wall to Wall Sound and Video By the way, I loved Best. Starting when I was about 10, I'd save up the $$ I earned working in the summer to buy something from Best. Most worth while purchase, a 4" B&W Panasonic portable tv. 24 years and it still works, except not with new digital signal

Nobody beats the wiz! I remember buying a TV, vcr and several things there. For a while Joe Namath was their spokesman. I think they were owned by the guys who own Cablevision and the Kicks or Rangers.

I was involved in a business deal a few years ago with a former CEO of The Wiz. He was a backstabbing, contract-violating piece of shit. When he was with The Wiz, he worked for a chairman of the board who is now the owner of the St. Louis Blues NHL franchise.

Korvettes...very classy! You are very Wong Foo
the only good thing from Sears is craftsman tools.....I knew a lot of people who went to yard stales and buy a fucked up riding lawnmower because it had its name on it.....if it was still usable ran it till it was dead....took it back to a local retail brick & mortar outlet and demanded a new one.....this was one of their misfortunate mistakes......understanding a hand tool that broke...no matter what price...free replacement for life......good idea/concept.......but to take its this way for something vastly more complex then that.......well it was in the end a big money loser.....

Not staples...that is a STORE.....more like as they say anchor stores
Quote:

As did many other older named DEPARTMENT stores......that’s what ya get when you buy all of Federated Department Stores & May Department Stores....you can change the names to whatever the fuck you like......Macy's just happened to be the only one that they liked.....well enough to keep around.
