You’d need a good hat, lots of sunscreen and a long shower after, but would that we could take a long summer afternoon’s float in an inner tube down the Rio Grande. I swear, the Rio is more restricted here than it is downstream where it’s the international border.
All the Hechts, May Company and Foleys stores are Macy’s now. I don’t know about you, but here it seems that the combined store has noticeably less than either had before the merger. What a sad place.
Speaking of retail, NewMexiKen was in Boulder, Colorado, a few weeks ago. The Pearl Street Mall is a great urban scene, but I laughed and laughed at the term “mall.” It couldn’t be a real mall. Where’s the Spencers Gifts? Where’s the Things Remembered?
Do they have a Cinnabon and a B. Dalton Bookseller?
I think it’s weird when you end up with two Macy’s stores in one mall like we have here in Virginia. They don’t even divide up the items, each one seems exactly like the other.
