Many Chicagoans have been busy boycotting Macy's in recent years because it failed to use the Field's name after they purchased it, but now people are returning because it features the lovely old Marshall Field's store with its beautiful ceiling.

This is basically a city within a city. Whatever you are looking for, you will probably find it here. Make sure you give yourself enough time to roam around, cause you will need it.
