If it weren’t for the parade Macy’s would be on that list.

Husband worked for Sears 30 years...bought by KMart. They’re dead.

It’s not that any of these stores are bad. But times change.

Sears used to be the bastion for appliances, an anchor to every mall in America.

But Sears also sold clothes and other stuff because it was a department store.

There are no more department stores except the big ones like Walmart and Target.

Mail order and delivery by those little airplanes is the future of shopping.

In Dover, DE there is fantastic Boscov’s Dept. Store. Long may it thrive.

Not really. All things go in fads. People obsess on one approach, then find out it’s not all that and settle down a bit. If we had a bit of everything, that would be ideal situation. Because it DEPENDS on what you want here and now.

As for Macy’s, I’m sick of them buying up everything. They are everywhere. Shouldn’t those vaunted anti-trust rules be coming into play? And Wal-Mart and Target are at best, bottom-level department stores, merely the heirs of K-Mart. I still have a problem calling them “department stores”.

i have not spent a penny at Macy’s since they dropped Trump’s line.
Also they go overboard gnashing about the queers. No thanks.
