I’m looking for info that’s been lost to time. Back in 1998, Hudson’s, Marshall Field’s, and Dayton’s released a series of light up buildings for their respective cities/areas. For Hudson’s, there was Tiger Stadium, the Ren Cen, the Penobscot, the Grand Hotel, and the Fox Theatre. I had heard from a few collectors over the years that there was also a Hudson’s, but I’ve never found proof of it. It would make sense as the same line included a Marshall Field store. But as far as I know, there is no definitive list online of the buildings.

I wanted to ask if any one of my fellow Detroiters collected these back in the day and whether or not they collected a Hudson’s. If it does exist in your collection, I would love to see a photo of it as it is not readily findable on the internet.

I’ve been trying to collect the Hudson’s City Sights Village pieces from 1998. These were Detroit building mates by Dayton Hudson who also made Chicago landmark buildings I know I’m missing the Fox Theatre, but I’ve also heard over the years that they also made a Hudson’s Department Store piece. It would make sense as I know they did a Marshall Field building.

I wanted to know if anyone knows if this is true. I have not been able to find any picture of it on the internet and as far as I know there’s no definitive list of the pieces they made. Does anyone know if Hudson’s exists and if it does exist, does anyone have a picture of it from their collection? This post includes a picture of my collection so far and a picture of the real Hudson’s Department Store for reference.

Get yourself a helmet full of Nachos.

We just got this from a Buy Nothing group. It was listed by the previous owner as Bengt Åberg. I just wanted to know the name of this painting and I’m not good at searching for those things.

Sometimes, you just need a big ass potato before you head a few blocks over to the DIA.
