Description
Image
,
looking
west
,
showing
the
front
window
display
of the
Nobil
Shoe
Store
located
at
210-211
South
Burdick
Street
in
downtown
Kalamazoo
,
Michigan
. This
image
shows
the
shoe
display
lit
up
at
night
. This
area
has
undergone
several
changes
since
this
image
was
taken
in
1940
. The
first
was the
conversion
of this
portion
of
South
Burdick
Street
to a
pedestrian
mall
in
1959
(the
first
of its
kind
in the
country)
. The
second
was the
economic
collapse
of the
downtown
area
in the
1970's
and
1980's
which
saw
many
businesses
flee
to the
suburbs
. This
collapse
was
followed
by a
rebirth
in the
1990's
which
continues
today
.
Finally
, the
reopening
of the "
mall
" to
automobile
traffic
in
May
of
1997
.
Today
,
Nobil
Shoes
no
longer
occupies
this
location
however
, this
building
still
stands
though
it
has been
remodeled
.
