Such a wonderful time of year to take in Mother Nature, enjoy a nice walk outdoors and view the beautiful sceneries.

Townsend Wyatt and Wall was the lead department store in Downtown St. Joseph, carrying up-scaled clothing, furniture, small appliances and more. Residents recall the luncheon counter where shoppers and visitors came for a quick lunch and a fountain coke. The 3rd floor was the mezzanine where shoppers could sit, rest and watch others shopping. The basement was called the bargain basement where shoppers could save money while still shopping at Townsend Wyatt and Wall.
