At least twice per year my mother, sister, and I used to go to the Beauty Salon in Garfinkel’s at Iverson Mall. We loved shopping there with our mother. We were saddened when they were bought by Hecht’s. Did you ever modrl for Hecht’s afterward?
Hecht’s didn’t buy Garfinkel’s. An investor group bought Garfinkel’s— and ran it into the ground.
Yes, I’m still bitter. Shopping at the downtown DC store was a wonderful experience— even for a bookish kid.
