Watch demolition of Detroit’s former Hudson’s building back in 1998

It’s been 25 years since the iconic Hudson’s building in Detroit was demolished.

Hudson’s Department Store still brings back memories for many who grew up in the Detroit area. The famous store sat in the heart of Downtown Detroit at Woodward and Gratiot avenues from 1911 to 1998, when it was demolished. It was eventually the tallest department store in the world.

Authorities say a U.S. Army reservist fatally shot 18 people at a bowling alley and restaurant in Lewiston, Maine, on Wednesday night. A massive search for 40-year-old Robert Card of Bowdoin was ongoing Friday.

The shooting in the state’s second-largest city is the 36th mass killing in the United States this year, according to a database maintained by The Associated Press and USA Today in partnership with Northeastern University.
