The Walnut Room. We were here for this year’s Macy’s Flower Show themed “Carnival.”
Photograph taken with my new Olympus OM-D EM-10 Mark II. I will use this lightweight mirrorless camera when I don’t want to lug around my bulky E-5 and second and/third lenses.
(Yup, there's more photos in this series! I just haven't posted them all yet!) At the corner of Washington and State Street stands the Chicago Classic, Marshall Fields (yes, I'm not calling it Macy's). This was a special super huge poster that appeared very briefly in Field's window.

About the posters:
Chicago is making a bid to host the Olympics in 2016. Billboards and posters went up in the Loop area of downtown Chicago the weekend before the U.S. Olympic Committee came to visit Chicago to evaluate Chicago's venues and plans for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. The posters say, "Stir the Soul."
"Stir the Soul" comes from the famous Daniel Burnham quote, "Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will not die, but long after we are gone be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistence."
-Daniel Burnham, 1910

Thanks to my twin brother, Erik, for instant messaging his idea to me that I shoot these posters.
The former Marshall Fields store in Lake Forest was the smallest in the former retailer's chain. If you are a certain age, you might remember the broadcast- and print advertisements with the "except Lake Forest store" disclaimer. This store likely sold only clothing and soft goods. Opened in 1928, it was their first suburban location.
I don't believe it was ever absorbed into the Macy's chain.
The South Grill is one of a group of six similar Tea and Grill Rooms which occupy the entire seventh floor of the main store. It is finished in Circassian walnut, seats about 700, has a fountain banked with flowers, and is distinctive in its appointments. The service is for men and women.

The toy department at Marshall Fields (Not Macy's :P) wasn't quite as cool as I would have liked, but it did have these awesome gigantic Harry Potter stuffed animals that were in the $1000+ range.
"For Cinderella heading to the castle, she doesn't look too happy, does she?" I said.
"Well, she's had just one too many shots of heroin, look at her scary hand," said my boyfriend.

I took this photo on November 12, 2004, at the gala opening for "Jacqueline Kennedy: The White House Years" at The Field Museum.
Barack Obama had just been elected days before, and everyone was giddy to see the new Junior Senator from Illinois in the same room as the Senior Senator from Massachusetts, Ted Kennedy.
And Michelle looked simply fabulous.
After Senator Kennedy's surgery this past week, and with Senator Obama's nomination now secure, I thought it appropriate to dust off these digital pics and share.
Heads of Industry, from Chicago's Gilded Age (Montgomery Ward, Marshall Field, et al).
Update Gapers Block apparently wrote about them recently.
