I know there are regionals like Dillard’s or Belk but I think generally those are like Kohl’s?

From that list you gave (highest to lowest):

Bloomingdales
Nordstrom
Macy's
Lord & Taylor
JC Penney
Kohl's
Sears

Heck, I'd rather buy something at Walmart or Target over Sears!

Who here remembers Woodies... aka Woodward & Lothrop! My very first job. I worked there through HS and some college. Made a couple of life long friends there. I miss Woodies

I worked there one college break. And I was a fan of the Wellesley Fudge cupcakes in the bakery, plus the velatis caramels (I know the caramels are still available in silver spring somewhere).

The flagship Macy’s is a cesspool. The windows are nice at christmastime, but otherwise ....

I love going to Dillard’s when I travel. So. Many. Dresses. Wish they’d open one in NoVa.

Oh, hell no. A normal Belk is equal to a Kohl's or maybe Macy's.

I also remember Hecht's, which was better than Macy's.
