Steven West, We Hardly Knew You

Following on a piece I wrote here a bit over 2 years ago, we really are at the end of an era.

Not only has the big "F"-shaped sign been denuded, but today it was announced that the abandoned Federal's department store building on Eight Mile in Hazel Park will be demolished.

Hard to imagine that after only 30+ years they've decided to knock down that "landmark," but that seems to be exactly what is about to happen.

If only Geraldo could come comb through the debris (before or after the demo) to explore what might still be there after all these years .... na.

As they say, Hail and Farewell!
