and to a degree,...I just discovered these comments,<br />and to a degree, I believe I would qualify as a Hudsonian. As an early teenager, a trip to downtown Hudson's happened every Saturday.<br />The Detroit School Department sponsored an All-City Orchestra for teenagers that met at Cass Tech High School every Saturday morning. I rode the bus down to Cass Tech, carrying my violin. My parents would drive down to pick me up at noon. And we would spend the afternoon wandering the aisles at Hudson's. The book store on the mezzanine was a particular favorite of mine. <br />While in college, I worked as a PMX in the Varsity Shop at Northland. In order to have that job, one should have had to be able to show prior experience. But my cousin, who managed men shoes at Northland, vouched for me. It was the best job I had prior to graduating from college.<br />In the Riverview Room, my favorites were the chicken pot pie and particularly the Maurice salad.<br />In fact, I have part of one awaiting me right now, brought home after a visit to the Hudson Cafe in Northville.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019493705058948268.post-90655075002999416932016-12-12T09:35:13.679-05:002016-12-12T09:35:13.679-05:00What a treasure you were given!

We lived in Grand Rapids when I was young, and a trip to Hudson's for shopping and lunch was a real treat-my sister, mom and I still talk about it. They would serve kids meals in a little paper shopping bag imprinted with circus images which we always took home to hold our "treasures" in until they fell apart. We had several of those to story barbie clothes and other odds and ends for years. Please do the cookbook-I think it will be fascinating.
