A few summers ago I helped the old lady down the street pick out all the weeds from her front yard and on the floor of her shed she had a few cans of Woodward's branded motor oil. Woodward's was before my time but I'm kinda fascinated by its history and it was cool to see stuff like that lying around.
I'm not sure if this has been mentioned already but did anyone else see the Eaton's lettering at Lansdowne Mall years after it closed? I'm not sure if it remained after the Target overhaul but it was definitely there when it was a Zellers. I only just barely remember Eaton's so it was kinda weird seeing the outline of the letters there that long afterward. On a related note I'm pretty sure we still have some Eaton's clothes hangers in our closet.
I'm not sure what it is but failed department stores really interest me. Maybe it's just how physically large they can be that makes me interested in how they fail. I don't know, it's just a weird obsession of mine.
