Parisian

Found on an alley in downtown Birmingham, the remains of our iconic department store. My mom and I shopped there when I was growing up and in later life, I worked at their Vestavia store for several years. Now it makes me smile as it's taken on another meaning, my love for all things Parisian!

Memories of Downtown Birmingham

As a child I have fond memories of shopping at the downtown Kessler's department store with Momma.  She knew the Kessler family and they were always so nice when we came in. Later, when they opened another store in Vestavia, I worked there during my Christmas break from Auburn.  It was a shopping experience in those days.  Today, I believe that the building on 3rd Avenue North has been converted to loft space, but they have kept the old sign in the window!
