Wow...look at all those shelves! A shoe store once? Any idea what this was before the fire?
Shoe Fair closed a few years ago. I loved that place, used to get my Chucks irregulars there. Never could find anything wrong with them and they were about $13.00.
Fort Street used to be such a nice shopping area - Winkleman's, Kresge's, Shoe Fair,
Sanders. I'm sure Mr. Maroun probably has some plans for the area.
It seems so hard for a youngin like myself to believe that with how Fort Looks today! I'm going to have to find some old pictures of Fort Street.
Sad to see another building burn.
Dear god - Shoe Fair. My mom used to tell me she worked there as a teenager.
Sad times truly because you can just feel what used to seem like a vibrant community.
I remember north of Dragoon on the west side of Fort was Ferguson Funeral Home, Motor Parts and Machine, and a bar. Further down was a men's clothing store where my dad bought his suits in the 40's and 50's. I went in there in the late 50's with my dad and the owner told us of a robbery that happened. On their way out they fired a shot at him that went through a whole rack of suits that went nearly the depth of the store.
