Thank you Charles! I grew up in Chicago, and my mother worked at
Field's when I was a teen. I loved it and special things about it
in addition to getting great discounts on clothes as a clothes happy
teen and much later going back to Chicago to visit and eating in the
Walnut Room.
I visited Field's in Minneapolis a couple of times when staying with
friends or my cousin.... was happy to discover they had Frango's there.
yum! and the ambiance was similar to the Field's in the Loop in Chicago
(which was the first store.) I hated it when Macy's bought it and did
away with the name, there was a big protest about it.
And in these days of diminished memory, I was glad you confirmed that
I recognized the building. Last time I was there was um 2005...

Welll I already picked faves from the first batch, of the ones I had not seen

but mainly from a nostalgia point of view, I'll confess. I THINK that was once
Marshall Field's - then Macy's bought
the one in Chicago, so I presume they bought the Minnepolis one too...
Was originally "Dayton's" for decades here in Minneapolis. THEN Marshall
Field's, finally Macy's.
