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

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


belk is more like a bloomindales or saks, or neiman marcus. At least the ones in the rich parts of town in the south.

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

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).
