Oh wait, they were let go...<br /><br />Bullock's, as it will always be for me as well, was a magical place for me. The atrium is a place I would "get" to sit, while my mother shopped, or where my Grammie would give me a penny and we'd make a wish, except during Xmas. It was in that atrium that my mother found a lamp sitting on a table that eventually went in my room, that I still remember fondly. <br /><br />The Tea Room...oh dear, is gone. Grammie and I would go there to enjoy a bite and to watch the runway models. <br /><br />And not far from this shot, was where I would go sit on Santa's lap.<br /><br />Times do change, but it is hard to believe that some of the old Bullock's couldn't be kept...but I guess progress moves on...<br /><br />Thanks for reminding me of some good times with people who are no longer around.Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12388261083998643091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926759868384604174.post-35594204542042422902012-01-07T20:11:30.563-08:002012-01-07T20:11:30.563-08:00It's a great store.

The Tea Room's closure a few years ago was the end of civilazation altogether. Now it's the furniture section. <br /><br />But I still love the building with all its historic exterior and interior features!pasadenapiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07938353886802913728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926759868384604174.post-61867029844829687552012-01-07T15:52:21.829-08:002012-01-07T15:52:21.829-08:00I forgot about that Shanna!!!

At Christmas time the tree was there. <br /><br />Around the wall were niches with a bench to sit on. I would sit and ponder. It was lovely.<br /><br />NOW there are racks and racks of stuff in that area. I really miss that round area with the domed ceilng.Shannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01608168607510299123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926759868384604174.post-60268886893335632962012-01-07T13:12:43.919-08:002012-01-07T13:12:43.919-08:00I'll think of this photo next time I walk the ...I'll think of this photo next time I walk the walk.

My mom took us to that Bullock's when we needed something special...I still have a bit of a problem with Macy's being there...Bullock's was so much more....uh...for lack of a better term...upscale!!! <br />I was surprised to see that the Capitol Records building and the Cinema building were built by the same architect.
