Hudson's flagship store, on Woodward Avenue in downtown Detroit (demolished October 24, 1998),[1] was the tallest department store in the world as of 1961,[2] and, at one time, claimed to be the second largest department store (next to Macy's) in the United States, in terms of square footage.[1] Image File history File linksMetadata Download high-resolution version (1245x472, 47 KB) Hudsons Department Store Logo This is a logo of an organization, item, or event, and is protected by copyright and/or trademark. ...

J.L. Hudson expanded into suburban Detroit, starting with the anchor store at Northland Center in nearby Southfield, Michigan, the largest shopping center in the United States when it opened in 1954.[2] Similar suburban malls followed (Westland Center and Eastland Center), as well of other stores throughout the tri-state region. The flagship Hudson's store closed January 28, 1983 (at the nadir of Downtown Detroit's decline) and was imploded 15 years later in October 1998.

The J.L. Hudson Company and the Dayton Company of Minneapolis merged in 1969 to form the Dayton-Hudson Corporation, operating Dayton's and Hudson's under their original names, eventually acquiring and selling several other department store chains. In 2000, Dayton-Hudson Corporation took the name of its most successful operation, becoming Target Corporation, and one year later re-branded all Hudson's and Dayton's locations with the Marshall Field's moniker, an operation purchased by Dayton-Hudson in 1990. After being briefly owned by May Department Stores, the former Hudson's stores fell under the ownership of Federated Department Stores in 2005 and all Marshall Field's stores were renamed Macy's in 2006.

Hudson River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1723 words)
The Hudson was originally named the "North River" by the Dutch, because it was the river that marked the northern most reaches of the New Netherland colony.
The Hudson River Railroad was chartered the next year as a continuation of the Troy and Greenbush south to New York City, and was completed in 1851.
The Hudson River serves as a political boundary between the states of New Jersey and New York, and further north between counties in New York.
