Let’s take a look back at some of our beloved, old favorites that are now gone, but definitely not forgotten.Įnter Coke salad, the ultimate combination of two of Southerners' favorite things: Coca-Cola and the act of congealing.īorn from the days when women of the deep South would pretty much encase anything, and we do mean anything, into a blob of Jell-O and call it a salad, Coke salad is the unlikely union of a variety of ingredients into a surprisingly delicious, though not always pretty, dessert. Whether we were purchasing, perusing or just passing the time, these stores became the backdrop for many of our lifelong memories. And every year we’d wait for elaborate holiday displays to adorn the huge plate glass windows. Often an emblematic feature would become part of the local lexicon – Meet me under the clock! – and the place where our life stories played out. Many of our old favorites had restaurants or mile-long candy counters that left us drooling. Need an Easter dress, back-to-school clothes or a Mardi Gras gown? Maybe you’re shopping for fancy jewelry or fancy undies? China, curtains, cosmetics? Toys, tools? Pumps? Pots? You can get it all at the department store – a gazillion square feet of possibility, ice-cold air-conditioning and lighting that always flatters. If you’re not from the South, you might think these statements refer to families who’ve moved away or maybe an old flame, but down here we know that these names all represent department stores – regional, iconic meccas for all things chic and fashionable.
