I wonder how Macy’s is doing in the Chicago area. I recall there was great anger when Macy’s holding company acquired the Marshall Fields chain in Chicago, and it was decided to turn the Fields stores into Macy’s. I understand that they lost a big customer base there when they did that.

And they did the same in other cities , where they acquired local department stores and turned them into Macy’s.

I miss Marshall Field’s.

Yes. Marshall Fields was an iconic Chicago establishment for decades. Just like a bunch of New York a--holes to blow into town, buy it and destroy the brand.
