Downtown Department Store Degradation

To continue on yesterdays topic here is a picture behind which lies the sad tale of a declining industry. As the big stores all fled downtown in favor of the new, big, vehicle friendly malls so the once proud family businesses found it impossible to compete and therefore perished.
Lichtenstein's was on Chaparral in Corpus Christi and R W Forsyth of Princes St Edinburgh Scotland comes to mind too.

Better be careful with all of us old folks around you could start an avalanche of emails on the old stores in Corpus. On second thought, it beats getting rid of kittens!

I remember how Lichtenstein's was THE department store in Corpus when I was a little girl. It's sad to see such places succumb to Big Box stores.
