Actually, my wife (who's a Bostonian) never thought much of Macy's. However, from my west coast perspective, I've noticed that it's a little bit more upscale here. Not necessarily Bloomingdale's quality, but you can get Boss/Armani/Canali suits here in the west coast stores--something that's not readily available in the New England stores.

just a gentle rib.
note that, dollars to donuts, those labels are not the same quality as you'll find in Neiman's, Saks, Barneys... Macy's is famous for luring in high end names to produce "quality at a price." Still nice stuff, just not exactly the same, and for 99% of the public, it won't matter. The knives and manufactured goods are the same, maker agrees to lower profit for higher volume. If I have anything against Macy's, same as Target, Home Depot, Walmart, etc., is that they are Main Street killers.
Amazed at the Hello Kitty phenomenon. My host in China last week had HK license plate frames.
