I personally think that a giant Dept. is necessary. Having plenty of small independent businesses would be great. Avante-garde stores, specialty restaurants, a business lounge bar and a afterwork bar (for commuters coming from midway and O'hare), a hotel, two or three residential towers, a food market, and an entertainment section are great to start off with. This list is just off the top of my head, i'm sure there are plenty more.

In addition, State st. does have Carson's and Field's so what can Harrod's or Macy's offer that our Chicago stores don't have. Alright I'm not a shopping expert, but if anyone knows please enlighten me.
