The Macy's here used to be a Lazarus. I LOVED Lazarus. Ofcourse the Dillard's here also used to be McAlpin's which i thought was better than Dillards too.

While at UK, one of my first - if not the first - charge cards I got then was from McAlpin's.

I'm not even marginally surprised that St. Louis is on there. This market isn't terribly friendly to outside companies buying out St. Louis institutions, and a lot of Famous Barr customers never made the switch to being Macy's customers.

The Macy's stores around here are pretty crappy. I'd rather drive 30 minutes and go to Nordstrom.

Similar here in Texas. A lot of Foley's customers were not happy about Macy's taking over and switched to Dillard's. If Macy's had been smart, they would have bought Foley's and let them stay with the name and reputation.

Foley's sucked. I'm glad Macy's took over.

Macy's took over our Burdine's in South Florida. Burdine's was great. I went to them ALL the time to shop. Macy's was only for visiting Aventura Mall.
Now that Burdine's are all Macy's, I haven't been shopping there as much because the clothes selection hasn't been as good until more recently. However, the Macy's that we have that have always been Macy's are still great. All the former Burdine's stores are mostly so-so.
Dillard's is something I only go to for dresses. They have the best dress selection here. For anything else...blah. All of their stores seem to desperately need new carpets.

Your opinion. Apparently all of the rest of the shoppers felt otherwise, because the Foley's here in the Dallas were always crowded.

We had Lazarus and Marshall Fields. I will never ever forgive Macy's for buying Marshall Fields.

Amen. I still miss Marshall Fields and Macy's doesn't even come close. It seems a lot of people here feel the same way and are somewhat bitter toward Macy's.

My mother-in-law was a die-hard Fields fan, and refuses to shop at Macy's. Fields always had great service, but Macy's...ick.

We had Hudsons, then Marshall Fields, and unfortunately then Macy's. I remember when it was somewhat affordable to shop there. WTF are they thinking putting a Macy's in a middle to lower-middle class area? People around here can't afford to buy that shit. I wanted to buy a pair of EMU boots. They were $80some at Macy's. Across the hall at Journey's they were on sale for $50 or $60. Ridiculous.

I will never be a fan of Macy's. I loved Famous Barr so much. It's a terrible thing that it's gone.  I used to love to come home to Missouri, and go hit Famous Barr up. And they killed our Burdines here. Death to Macy's.
