Macy's - Say It Isn't So.

 Macy's Herald Square is one of the largest

stores in the world. And I love it. Yes, it is a bit behind the 

competition when it comes to remodeling,

yes, there were the fires.  That's not good.

But there is something about the

roughed up floors, deco light fixtures 

and those dinosaur  wooden escalators

that makes this place so special, to me.

It is no surprise  though, according to Racked NY

" that the Macy's Flagship at Herald Square might be going under the knife soon. The brand had plans to upgrade the store before the recession hit, but put those on hold until their budget had bounced back. Now that it's looking a little less anemic, they're thinking of a major overhaul, reports WWD. In addition to redoing the 34th Street facade and entrances, they'll update the infrastructure and eventually the sales floors. Macy's competitors like Saks and Bloomingdale's have unveiled makeovers recently, so WWD thinks this might be a way to catch up."

Someone call the Smithsonian -stat.
