[2012: the Loeser's remnant has since been removed from the station.]
Any idea what happened to the Loesers artwork/panels? Would love to get my hands on some. My uncle Hy Sobiloff was one of the last owners of Loesers and after my dad’s untimely death in 1950 my mother spent time there learning the business before starting up her own small shop in Salem, MA.
