Field's Fans Chicago staged a protest today, the anniversary of Macy's killing the Marshall Field's store brand. We hung out at the State Street store, where things heated up. And when it was done, we went to go have Frango Mint Ice Cream Pie in the Walnut Room inside Macy's.

Yep!

This clock extends from the corner of the building.

Worked all day today... but it was a beautiful day... which is why I was so busy at work :) Love that the sun is setting so much later... because the sun was still shining on my way home from work.

As of today, 09/01/06, the lights on the front of Marshall Fields is no longer green, but white in preparation for the conversion to Macy's

The elevator doors look like they might take you back in history.

The Loop, Chicago, Illinois.

The elevator operators at the Marshall Fields & Company Building (Macy's on State Street Chicago) in the 1940s were women. For the time, that was incredible and inspirational for most women during the period because women weren't really supposed to work. They are supposed to be home.

I colorized the photos using Artificial Intelligence (not accurate colors but close enough).

Jason, Janice and I make a yearly trip to Chicago to see Tuba Xmas (wikipedia). A lot of years we're a bit late and don't get seats, but can listen in. This year we were crazy early and were able to sit and listen and watch. To be honest the way the room is setup there isn't that much to see, but it's pretty cool to listen to. Afterwards we walk around the German Village in Daley Plaza and around on State Street and Michigan Avenue. I didn't take the SLR as the weather was a bit iffy, but I got some decent shots with the PNS.

Of course the iPhone had to make an appearance. :) Checking that the German Village was where we thought it was.

Lunch at the Walnut Room. A little expensive, but worth it I guess for the retro-tastic experience.
