I totally agree with you seaskyfan as far Jordan Marsh AND Filene's in Boston (and Florida) are concerned. They are both a distant memory, sadly.
The only converted downtown Macy's I've been in lately that seemed halfway acceptable was the old Marshall Fields in Chicago. But even that formerly grand flagship seemed somehow "gutted" to me. And all of my Chicago friends absolutely hate the fact that they erased the Marshal Fields name....all of these years later. That's pretty damn telling.
