Watchoo Talkin' Bout Willis?

In my lifetime it will always be Sears Tower. Always. Plain and simple. But I cannot boycott Willis Tower since my hubby works in the building. I'm wondering if Willis has stock in some kind of printing business since everyone in Rick's office (and I'm sure all other companies in Sears) have to get new business cards and letterhead printed with Willis Tower instead of Sears Tower on them.
What are they trying to do to our great city? First they take away our beloved Marshall Fields, then in comes that nasty ass Trump and his mostly vacant tower, and now Willis. What's next? Renaming Chicago to Oprahland?! ARGH!

I Love NY But.........


.........Not Macy's. In the Chicago Tribune this morning, there was an article about how Macy's is still suffering poor sales since discarding the Marshall Field name. Really?! I am extremely proud to say that I have not even set foot in Macy's since they came to Chicago two years ago. And I have no intention of ever doing so. The funny thing is when we would travel I used to love to shop at Macy's. Now I'm just pissed. My daughter was a fourth generation Marshall Field shopper. How could they do that to us? I miss those green shopping bags. At Christmastime, the best day was was a long day of shopping at Field's on State Street. I did not even go downtown to see the Christmas windows last year. Long story short, Macy's is putting out some new ads this fall to try and get back all the lost shoppers. Problem is the ads feature Jessica Simpson and Donald fucking Trump. Chicago does not want Macy's and bringing in Donald Trump is only going to worsen things. How did they think that would help? The Donald, and his obnoxious new development on the site of the old Sun-Times building, and Macy's should go back to New York. PRONTO!
Maybe they could even take Oprah with them!
