No miracle on State Street: Marshall Field's to change to Macy's
I rarely shop at Field’s anymore, but it holds lovely memories from my youth. My wedding dress was from Field’s. I remember buying dresses - even in the children's department - when there were clerks who actually helped you find what you needed, zipped up hard to reach zippers and offered opinions on what looked good and what didn’t.

Budgetary constraints have made me much more of a Target girl, which is OK. Since Field’s isn’t the kind of place where you can buy clothes, cosmetics, doggy treats and garden implements. But Field’s is still the place of memories and I just can’t envision it as being the same under the Macy’s name. I guess, in a snit, I could take my business to Gimbels. But I think Gimbels was bought out by Field’s about 20 years ago.
