But before that, I think it'd been three years since I'd been in a department store, and that was mainly because we finally got a Nordstroms down here and I wanted to see if the shoe department was as good as reputed.

Yes. I'm just now taking time again to reach back out to boutiques and smaller stores, but in the last several years, between relocating to a new, somewhat fashion-challenged locale and having two kids and a couple jobs, MF provided pretty reliable, good-quality, one-stop, within-walking-distance-of-work clothes for work and play, actually). F'ing Macy's is discontinuing all kinds of good lines, particularly in petites, where I get about half my things. And RP's right, the atmosphere in Macy's sucks. It's like a barely upscaled KMart. Garish, like their logo.
