Yesterday we went downtown to see the spring flower show at Marshall Fields. It was nice, but compared to years past, it was not a favorite.
The brochure stated it was "a botanical world transformed into a realm of artistry, where nature and imagination are beautifully manipulated".
Ugh, the old Marshall Field plaques are still on the corners, but the awnings say "Macy's on State Street." As if! It was really sad to see. Dirty, run down, low stock, no staff to be found, and very few people bothering to shop there.
Marshall Field and Company

One of the finest department store buildings in the nation. The building is noteworthy for its lavish interiors, including two atria decorated with stained glass and Tiffany mosaics, and the much beloved Walnut Room.

Even though the weather didn't quite agree, Macy's on State Street was all decked out for spring.
I wish the lighting had done it a bit more justice but I still got some worthwhile shots of the awnings.
And I didn't notice this until I got them in large but there was a girl in black who turned out to be a bit of a street subject.
She's facing back to the camera in this photo but in the most popular photo (viewswise) on my other account she's face on in this photo feels much colder than it is.
