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.
