There was other competiton to Weiss & Goldring besides Wellan's, such as Schwartzberg's. There's not much left to remind us of it today, only a vacant lot. But those of us that remember shopping there remember the footprints, carefully orchestrated and painted to lead us into another of Alexandria's retail marvels. Not far away, on Second Street, was The Fair Department Store.
