Chicago's New York State of Mind

Federated Department Stores announced last week that they were changing the name of their Chicago stores from Marshall Field's to Macy's. It's their right, I guess, but believe me...as a former Chicagoan, this ain't gonna fly so well with the Second City natives. As Preservation Chicago Chairman Jonathan Fine said, it's like renaming the Eiffel Tower.

Thoughts on the name change from Chicago's very own Noel and from the respected veteran of Chicago news, Carol Marin.
