Farewell to Foley's Houston Store and Memories
Jim Finley recalls Foley's at 1110 Main, once Houston's premier department store, now closed and set for demolition. He describes childhood visits from Sweeny, evokes family memories of J.P. and Gigi, and compares Foley's to past favorites Kimmey Boswell and Sakowitz, noting emptier floors and a symbol of progress.
