Loss of a Beloved Department Store in Chicago Breeds a New Kind of Superfan (NYT)

From The New York Times (by Libby Sander; Published: January 17, 2007):

The Marshall Field’s flagship store in Chicago became a Macy’s last September. Since then, some residents have boycotted Macy’s and signed a petition to keep the old name.

“Chicagoans would have welcomed Macy’s to our market alongside Field’s,” said Grant Paplauskas, 28, who works in marketing and lives in the southwest suburbs. “But there is resentment because in coming to Chicago, they took away what was ours. We miss what was here.”
