[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That Macy's is a true landmark for the area, but they do no more business that the two at Fair Oaks Mall combined. Inside it's like every other Macy's, a damp, musty smell that you can never escape.[/quote]

DC isn’t DC w a real downtown anymore.

Macy’s is just sad. I hadn’t been in one (to shop) for many years and went in recently looking for prom wear for my teen.  It was so blah and uninspiring.   Asked to order something online and was told it could not be delivered until after the prom (April 20) because it was being shipped from the manufacturer aka China.  SMH [/quote]

I mean, isn't this true of all Macy's thought?  The department store as an institution has been on a long decline since before I was born.  Especially with ECommerce, its days as an institution are numbered.[/quote]

In Asia and Europe department stores are still a spectacle and draw in locals and tourists. La Samaritaine in Paris just reopened after a long renovation. It is spectacular. I wish we had more of that here. [/quote]

European department stores are so awesome. It’s odd we donNt have that model here at all. [/quote]
