Loehmann's Plaza' long gone Herman's World of Sporting Goods. 


Feb. 1983 article covering Loehmann's groundbreaking. Photo with Meyera Oberndorf, who would eventually have nearby Central Library bear her name. Other thing that sticks out to me, the pic documents the shopping center's correct name Loehmann's, while headline underneath inaccurately describes it as a non-possesive, singular Loehmann.



Two years later (Oct 85), opening of Herman's is announced. It was at the west end of strip mall.


Former Herman's space, now a golf supply store.. Good view of the Spanish tile roofing:

Contemporary Loehmann's maintains a nice page:
