Department stores in CNY

    While I have been covering several department store chains this month, I there are more that were in Syracuse, mainly before my time, that are long gone. It's getting more painstaking to even find free photos for each one, let alone find where they even had stores. I will just list the rest in this post. I won't mention the time of year I wrote this so it's not too seasonal in nature. I have heard of these over the years here and there. It'd be hard for them to get on today when some of the larger chains are struggling right now.

AI Flahs that's anything but Flah-less!

Bonwit Teller (Carousel Center [now Destiny USA newer section; including closed Forever 21])

Macys Closeout (possibly in Penn Can Mall. Smaller Macys proper downtown.)
