See any familiar stores? If you grew up in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida or Louisiana in the last century, you should. These retailers (and their specialty brands, special sales, cafes and teen boards) are either gone with the wind or have long-since absorbed into major department stores such as Macy’s and Belk.

If you’re in the Birmingham area, a new face will soon be on the retail scene: Von Maur is tentatively scheduled to open November 2. And they’re hiring!
