And here a little earlier in a hand tinted postcard courtesy of Chuckman.
This appears to be from a trade magazine.
This photo from a Kresge's in Newark (1948) shows some kids
riding around the store in a monorail!
More proof that the past was better!
I haven't been on a monorail for at least five years!
Although this photo is from the Kresge's in Detroit, they all had a lunch counter somewhere in the store, usually at the back.

The demolition of the Kresge store is just another example of classic Toronto stupidity. It was a masterpiece replaced by a monstrosity. Tragedy
ReplyDeleteIt was a great store and sadly missed.
