Show Notes
In the 1930s, McCrorys dime store in New Orleans revolutionized shopping with air-conditioning, a knitting room, and a diner. By the 1960s, it was a major retail hub, hosting Easter parades and a Christmas Toyland. However, its legacy was marred by segregation, leading to a landmark Supreme Court case. Despite a 1961 remodel, the store closed in 1996, but its Canal storefront remains as a testament to its complex history.
