That was fun to watch! While I never experienced the Bullocks Wilshire Tea Room, I spent many an afternoon at Seattle's Frederick and Nelson tea room - not as grand, but just as special. Thanks, Huell, you're the best.

This was wonderful to watch. I grew up shopping at that store and worked at Bullocks Wilshire in the late 80s. Watching former co-workers being interviewed about the closing of what by then was I. Magnin was very poignant and nice to see their faces again as I remembered them. Thank you for posting this.
