Customer Says: Dear Lord's, Thanks for the Memories

People have started to record their memories at Lord's Department Store. What's your favorite Lord's memory?

 

The owners of Lord's Department Store have started a memory book in which patrons can preserve their memories of the iconic store that will close its doors on Feb. 28.

The store, which was founded in 1940 by Raymond Lord then taken over by Bill Kelly in 1981, was sold on Dec. 31.

I bought my baseball card collection from you -- one pack at a time. Stale gum included. All of my school projects were made with your markers and posterboard, and my friends and I always stopped off for a candy bar on half days.

Thanks for the memories!
