Interview with Weinstock's Author Annette Kassis
SacTV.com "Video of the Day" review by
Alex Cosper on October 9, 2012
Annette Kassis is the author of Weinstock's: Sacramento's Finest Department Store, a book about the chain that started
in Sacramento and lasted over a century until it was absorbed by Federated. We did the interview at Arden Fair
Mall to highlight the fact that what is now Macy's, owned by Federated, was once Weinstock's, which had several
stores in California.
In this first of three brief videos Annette talks about her interests as an historian.
She enjoys writing about California, particularly regarding media such as McClatchy Broadcasting, in which
the Sacramento Bee was the first newspaper on the west coast to also own a radio station. Her interest in
writing about California history led to an opportunity to write about Weinstock's through a national publisher that concentrates
on regional markets.
