However, I was wondering if you might have some pictures of Belk Leggett's store in downtown Danville, VA. <br />I remember my grandmother taking me to Belk Leggett on the even side of the street and Thalhimers on the odd numbered side of the street. The Thalhimers' store was in the old Herman's department store building.

On the 3rd floor was display dept and way in the back corner were ALL the Christmas displays they had used in the past at the Belk store in downtown Charlotte. I remember asking several times if I could purchase a few of them and all I ever got from the manager of the store was "I will check and see". I really wish I had gotten 1 or 2, God only knows where they are now.Trip Haynesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9879987.post-18566970207777091052014-08-18T11:45:59.533-04:002014-08-18T11:45:59.533-04:00Thanks!

Each store was special in its own way; you knew you were in Gastonia when you saw "Matthews-Belk" or in ROcky Mount with "Belk-Tyler's" (and so on). The old hyphenated naming system made each store--and each town--unique. Nowadays, there is no retail distinction to communities.

I first came across Belk while vacationing in South Carolina with my family in the early 1990's. Everytime we would go to Charleston, I would have to make a stop at Belk. A few years ago, the Proffitt's Department Store chain was bought by Belk and to my surprise they opened one in Ashland, Ky. 30 minutes from my house. I will say now that I am BIG FAN of Belk. It is definitely one of my favorite Department Stores. Thank you for a view into their past. So sad that their downtown flagship store is gone. I am an avid collector of any memorabilia dealing with downtown department stores. The store I remember from my childhood is Lazarus. We would make monthly trips to The downtown Lazarus store. It was such a treat. 6 floors of shopping not including the Bargain Basement complete with a drug store. We will never go back to the days of the elegance that was the Downtown Department store. I miss those days and hate that I came into this world when most of them were on their way out. At least I got to experience a few of those years. Thanks for your site. It is very interesting. I have bookmarked it! I will visit often.

Back to school meant going "downtown" to Belk's and buying school clothes. We loved the basement cafeteria, and I remember a bookstore on the mezzanine. In one section of the store (the old Efird's building??) the elevators had glass doors with accordian gates behind them...you could see the "works" of the elevator going up and down through the doors. And also in that older section, there was a narrow wooden escalator. Those old days are gone forever, but thanks for the wonderful job of preserving our memories through photos.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9879987.post-91563954997343899032010-10-05T07:48:42.320-04:002010-10-05T07:48:42.320-04:00Thanks for sharing your memories.

The photo showing the remodeled Belk in Monroe, NC would be 1960 according to a Belk publication printed for the opening of the Belk Store at the Monroe Mall in 1979 after it moved from downtown. Name of publication, "Monroe, N. C.: The First Belk Store". A little trivia for Monroe: We had only one escalator, ever, and that was the one in the Belk's on Main Street, installed in 1957 (it only went up!). Unfortunately, the escalator was torn out in 2008.
