Amen! Exactly! Federated has gobbled up almost every local department store all over the country. I want a choice as to where I shop. Every Macys carries the same merchandise regardless of where the store is located. It's generic and not geared to the tastes of the locals. I am fed up with corporate greed and quite upset with the Macy Co. for selling out.

I must be alone in my sadness over the loss of Foleys. This past Tuesday as I drove down I-10 I saw them changing the sign on the building. I almost cried...actually, many of my friends did! I LOVE, or LOVED shopping at Foleys. I could always find what I wanted at a price I could afford, and who didn't love all their sales and the extra coupon discounts? To me, Foleys is a part of Houston. I really can't imagine the city without it. It took me years to get over the loss of Joskes...and I've never become a Dillards shopper. So, where will I shop? Neimans, Saks, Nordstroms are great stores but too pricey for me on a regular basis. Penneys and Khols don't carry decent merchandise...so what's left? Houston continues to lose its personality, and it is very sad indeed! I'll never be a Macys fan. I'll give it a try, but they'll have to win me over. I don't particualy like change...especially when someone seems to have no respect for what was a great department store. I was hoping Federated would at least keep the name Foleys. How about the Red Apple Sale? Is that also a goner? Today was my last trip to Foleys at Memorial City. It was crowded, but all over the store I heard the same thing...people talking about the loss of Foleys. I know there are more people in Houston who feel like I do!
