Comment on the restoration of the historic Macy's building on Peachtree, formerly Davison's

It is very common for comments to be made to a post weeks or even months after the post, thus making it very unlikely the comment will be read by other readers. The following is a comment that was posted yesterday to an 8-15-09 post entitled "New life for downtown Macy’s building.", and is most definitely worth sharing (the photos are from the earlier post):

I am so glad that the old Davison's building is being saved. I am 66 years old now but I still remember the first day I went to work there in the display department. In a way it's sad that some things have to change. I do miss the Rich's building too. But the Davison's building was a southern showplace for all to enjoy. It had show windows all the way accross the front and on the side and with a huge corner window where we use to create the most beautiful displays. The main floor interior was a stately showplace, especially at Christmas. At Christmas the beautiful chandliers had the most beautiful trim and little red shades were on every light. The ground floor cosmetic and accessory ledges held the most beautiful manniquins dressed in fashions from all over the world. Each spring we transformed the store into a theme of some sort from around the world and it lasted for two weeks. Its nice to dream......Again I say "Thank You" for saving the old building. I hope to visit her again someday.
