Sears closes its last department in Illinois, its home state

I have fond memories of Eaton’s as well. I don’t remember if we had a Woodward’s here, but I do remember most of the department stores had restaurants. My mom would take us to eat at the restaurant in Sears’ when we made a big shopping trip there.

I also remember my father in law popping by unexpectedly as I was making supper about 15 years ago, offering to take me out to Zellers for supper. I declined as I was already making food and, well let’s be honest… it was Zellers. Not exactly top quality. Now, I wish I’d taken him up on it since both Zellers and he are no longer here.
