From Booklist
Main Street is more than a place; it is a mythic symbol that represents a way of life that exists today as much a nostalgic memory as a reality. This celebratory portrait of the Kress five-and-dime store chain will certainly help evoke such memories. Thomas is an architectural historian who received a grant from the Kress Foundation to research and photograph former Kress stores. In the process, she unearthed archives relating to the chain's many stores in the basement of the Nashville headquarters of Genesco, Inc., the conglomerate that had taken over Kress. Thomas traveled to 27 states, visiting 260 buildings that had been Kress stores. Included here are approximately 200 photographs that not only show a variety of architectural styles but also document Kress' high design standards. Thomas has indexed the photographs by location, architect, and building name; and she shows what uses are now being made of these buildings. These features make this book more than a fascinating piece of Americana; it is a valuable resource for historians and urban planners. David Rouse

These stores were meeting places, sidewalk centerpieces, and eventually part of the fiber of many towns. The Kress legacy survives in over 260 buildings in 27 states, pictured...
