Bye, Bye Hecht….

Sayonara Marshall Field’s….

Peace out Lazarus….

Today, September 9, 2006,  is the day that pretty much every department store in America becomes a Macy’s.

Even though we signed petitions (keepitfields.org collected close to 60,000, yes 60,000 names), that wasn’t good enough for the corporate heads.  According to a fashion industry friend of this blog, Macy’s “researched” the names on the petitions and found that the people on the list were “old” (I’m 30) and we all know that “old” people don’t shop. They sit around eating creamed corn,  playing scrabble, and ordering the entire spring collection of the Suzanne Somers line on QVC, letting those “crazy kids”  deal with all that fashion babaloo.
