I think Riordan's was in the 70s/80s, anything before that is beyond my memory horizon!
My earliest DTK recollection would be going in to Kresge's at age six to buy my Mom a rhinestone brooch for Christmas - it was ugly as sin and I remember being thrilled to be buying it with "my own money". I still have the brooch, which I saved when we cleared out my mother's home.
Actually, I have a vague memory of sitting in the window inside the old Waterloo Trust (King/Ontario) and singing a hymn at the top of my voice while my mother did her banking - I couldn't have been more than four years old, which would take it (just) to the 1950s in DTK!
