As I mentioned yesterday, I was given a flyer for this anti-Macy's group.
They claim the boycott is working (as is the economy these days). Macy's is definitely hurting.
"For over 154 years, Marshall Field's defined Chicago as an international city....it set the standards for world-class quality in service, fashion, merchandise, food and culture....In 2006, Macy's took away Chicago's icon and made it one of over 800 Macy's. Since then, Macy's has proved that it is no Marshall Field's."
They have distributed over 120,000 buttons and lapel stickers and even more leaflets.
According to them, the boycott is working and that "it is only a matter of time until the visionary business and civic leaders with the needed clout come forward to bring back Marshall Field's.
I wish them luck, but doubt that this will bring it back. Even the Field family had no interest.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
