I remember when Federated took over A & S, and they became Macy's. It really wasn't a big deal for customers. They even shared bridal registries.

It's an emotional thing here. There was a definite pecking order: Horne's, then Kaufmann's, then Gimbel's. I can remember being about six years old, and the elevator at Horne's stopped on the Bridal floor. My mother told me that, when I get married, we'd come down there to select a dress. They were closed, though, by then.
Don't get me wrong, I really do like Macy's and Bloomie's - it's just that they're
New York stores (and somewhat DC).
