It was a huge store, full of cool things, including a toy department like you wouldn't believe. That's where we went to have photos taken of us with Santa Claus. Foley's also had an outstanding formal restaurant where people dressed up to dine. I think it was called the Venetian Room or something like that. I don't know when Macy's took over.
Anyone else have nostalgic stories about this store?

No, that store to me is an eyesore and the vast majority of my memories of it are where the homeless downtown like to sleep at night; and pigeons.
