Here in Utah there was a store called ZCMI (Zions Commercial Mercantile something) that was founded by the Mormon pioneers and pretty much owned by the Mormon church. It got sold a few years back to the May company, which turned them all into Meier & Franks. There was some worry that a store the conservatives trusted not to get too radical in clothing would turn into something trendy and out of place. I wonder what Macy's will carry, or if they'll take into consideration that there are a lot of people with a lot of money around here who want a store where they can buy nice clothes that fit LDS standards.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I understand that Macy's is doing or has done the same to Marshall Field's in Chicagoland.
Has done.
Also, Goldsmith's in the Memphis area is now Macy's. But that happened a couple of years ago.

ChiKat, they didn't close the one downtown, did they? I was hoping to hit up the Lush store in it. Not that there aren't other Lush stores in Chicago, but that one is where all the good shopping is!

connie, I've ahemmed the first two episodes of House, so far. I will check them out this week and report back to you on that matter.

No, they didn't close it, just changed it to Macy's. It's still there. In fact, Lush is in both downtown Macy/Marshall Fields. As well as the Macy's in Oak Brook.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You have Lushes inside other stores? Very curious.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Mostly liquor stores...

We do. The ones inside Macy's are not as big as the free standing store, though.

It's odd, but much more convenient than the free-standing store. And since it is all about me, they can stay.
