My mother work at Tiedtkes from the mid 1950s until they closed. Sometimes when I got out of school ( Glenwood); I would take the bus down to the store, hang out and with my mother take the bus home
I worked Christmas season at Tiedtke’s in the toy department. Had to take the bus. My mother didn’t believe that a store should sell a variety of merchandise, but when it came time to make her delicious fruitcakes, she knew That she could only buy the fruit at Tiedtke’s. Many years later, my son talked me into working at Toys ‘R’ Us, and I had the same manager! 33:12
I remember I was seven years old at home watching tony orlando and dawn I think, And a bulletin came on the tv saying the Tiedtkes was on fire. We all went outside of our moore st house and walked down to chestnut and bankroft and watched the fire from there.
I remember when us kids would go totiedkists with mom on Fridays to buy clothes and shoes for school.shoes $2.00 pair or 2pairs for $8.00.man those was the good old days.
In the Polish neighborhood I grew up at Lagrange and Central, the ultimate insult you could hurl at someone was “…you can kiss my a$$ in Tiedtke’s window!” Because of the crowds, Tiedtke’s display windows was where the most people would see it. What a time…
For me, whenever this program about Tiedtke's I get a Christmas tradition of watching it
