Macy's State St. Christmas Windows

So, how does the Macy's State St. X-mas`decor compare to that of Marshall Fields? Are the windows and other decorations better, worse, or about the same as in previous years? Didn't want to make a trip into the city unless the decor this year was worth the trip. In my opinion, last year was a bit of a disappointment.

In recent years, I didn't think the windows were comparable to decades ago. On our nightly tv news, I notice that one intro had views that looked ok.

I won't be making a trip just to see the windows, but will later in Dec. to a point farther North for a couple of activities.

The same report had middling reviews of the windows from passers-by. I think it was NBC, and then it lead to a short story about Fannie May possibly returning for candy production here.

japw82, I think it is about the same as last years level, that's what I took from it.

According to The Chicago Tribune, this years theme is Mary Poppins. As you would expect, some like it...some don't.

Frankly, I'd rather spend my time in
Ditka's.
