Sorry, couldn't resist the title. This is Chicago Man during a Chi Flickr Meetup on Friday.

This box of Frango Mints, which Todd's friend Jason just brought back from Chicago this week, is still branded with the Marshall Field's logo. EvilEmpiremacy*s says that this will not be so in the future . . . but I guess they are milking the M.F. & Co. label for all it's worth right now.

The light fixtures at the Seven on State food court at Marshall Field's are all decorated with kitchen stuff!
Marshall Field State St. Chicago - plaque about the history of the store, taken in November 2004. Sadly, Marshall Field is truly now a part of history. The store is owned by, and is now called "Macy's."
October 25, 2008. 299/366. Went vintage shopping here in Austin, and I saw this label and actually felt a tear pricking the inside corner of my eye.
R.I.P., Marshall Field. I remember cheesy chowder lunches with my parents and sitting under the huge Christmas tree in the Walnut Room. My high school clothing budget never went that far in your juniors department, but I could always squeeze a few bucks out for a box of Frangos.
It's around this time of year that I start to wonder what the grande dame Chicago department stores would be putting in their windows for Christmas... and then I remember, they're all gone.
Screw you, Macy's.
Taken December 2005 at Marshall Fields on State Street in Chicago.
Macy's should be ashamed for taking the name away. A plaque should be hung near the dome to state it was part of Fields (not a Macy's original).
This crowd of tourists (or just locals with a video camera) stands outside one of the three or four windows that Macy's on State Street has decorated for Christmas. This particular window had a Mary Poppins theme with two little animatronic characters singing "Supercalifragelisticexbealadocious." I know I butchered that spelling since I didn't even bother checking it.
Christmas Day, I think, was the only day that this window didn't block traffic on the sidewalk on the east side of State Street.
the labyrinth of escalators inside the old Marshall Fields building can be challenging to navigate and time consuming to take but rewarding with the views as you go all up 8 stories zig zagging back and forth
In 1907 when Marshall Field & Company opened the new store at the corner of State Street & Washington Street, and State Street & Randolph Street (it occupies a full block back to Wabash Avenue), it included a Tiffany Ceiling that is both the first and largest ceiling ever built in favrile iridescent glass, containing over 1.6 million pieces. The building was put on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Macy's bought out the chain in 2005, and in 2006 this historic department store's name changed to "Macy's on State Street."
