Time Lapse - Marshall Field's Last Christmas

For over 100 years, Marshall Field's flagship department store on State Street in Downtown Chicago, IL, was a local landmark -- known especially for its elaborate Christmas decorations and window scenes. However, it was bought by Federated Department Stores (Macy's) in Fall 2005. Shortly after, Macy's announced that the name would be changed.

These five time lapse shots are of the last Christmas at Marshall Field's, shot on December 22 and 23, 2005.

Marshall Field's was the most service-oriented store in Chicago. It was wholly unique, not generic, and their staff and I were on a first-name basis. They knew my size and taste, alerted me when new merchandise arrived which they felt I would find desirable; ninety-nine percent of the time they were RIGHT! This has been a terrible loss to Chicago, and to ALL Field's shoppers. I still shopped at Field's both by catalogue and by phone, although I live elsewhere. PLEASE BRING FIELD'S BACK!
