In Leonard's '70s set books, I've noticed that Hudson's department store gets mentioned an awful lot. Was that a big and famous place?
Oh my goodness yes....
Looks like I brought back a nice memory for you
.
It closed down in 1983 and was demolished in 97 or 98 but to show you the nostalgic feelings, there were plenty of people that ran to get bricks or other things from the building. Lot of good memories around Hudson's. That ending in "Casino" when they talk about the onslaught of depersonalized corporate casinos? That's close to how I felt about the big malls taking over the spot that Hudson's used to occupy.
And you just confirmed something that I've long suspected: You're getting older and you hate change every bit as much as I do
.
