One of the tv stations ran a poll last night asking if people would still shop at Field's if the name was changed...90% said no. Field's is an institution here, so, obviously, it would be smart business sense to keep the name as is. I guess we'll see.
Oh, and ISU Kappa - I work at CPS part-time, and Carsons didn't buy Yonkers. Saks owns Yonkers, Herbergers, CPS, Bergners (which bought out CPS), and the Boston Store. They merged all of the above into the Department Store Group. No one likes the merger..especially since they've closed some stores, stopped carrying some higher-end merchandise, and made a terrible inventory even worse.
