In my dream world, The City of Paris lives on in great shape, the quintessential San Francisco store, while upstarts come and go. What is more San Francisco than a store that started on a ship in the bay? Of course I’d also want the Emporium with its Christmas rides on the roof.
Other than a few ”it’s” that should be “its”, well done! Example: but I will miss it’s ballast in Union Square. (apostrophe used only for “it is” contraction, not for possessive as in this example)
I love the City of Paris story of selling the full ship of goods before they could ever reach port... The love of shopping is eternal! Thanks for checking my grammar!
This is a fascinating essay, thanks so much for putting everything in context. Department stores ain’t what they used to be, but at least we have the memories.
