am I the last to know???

so apparently the Macy's parent company bought out the owner of the Hecht's-- I heard yesterday and just looked it up, and sure enough... so does this mean MACY'S is coming to VIRGINIA BEACH???? AAAHHHHH I am so excited!!!!! Because really, I always wondered why May Co. and Macy's were two different companies when they sound so much alike... :)

Really, though, the thought of only having to drive 5 minutes instead of 3 hours to fulfill my shopping obsession is fantastic! My only complaint: why couldn't they buy out one of the sucky stores around here, like Dillard's? Hecht's (Strawbridge's at home) has always been my second favorite and for some things my first! maybe, though, that's just because I've gotten so used to settling :Þ I guess we'll see what happens.

well, onto the next era of shopping...

we have no Macy's in Chicago, something I find to be very insulting to the Chicago area. Perhaps Marshall Fields' didn't want Macy's around. I guess the 7-floor, one-city-block Marshall Fields' makes up for it, especially when you add in the Nordstrom's, Bloomingdales, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Barney's New York down on the Mag Mile.

It has been years since I have seen a Macy's. The last time I was in one, I was eight, and they had everything. I really hope they do come back around..
