Portland shopping finally welcomes newly renovated Macy’s
Posted by Emily on November 13th, 2007
Here’s something to give thanks about — Macy’s in downtown is finally back! After closing their doors for renovation in 2006, the store reopened on Oct. 26, and just in time for holiday shopping.
Yes, it’s true, I liked the old Meier & Frank store, which Macy’s took over in 2006. It was a Portland shopping landmark. (I always felt like I was entering a Frank Capra movie when I went in there.) But it was time for a change, and I think this will be a good one for downtown.
The new Macy’s promises to be a great addition to our Portland shopping options. The 15-story building is modern and elegant, but still manages to be cozy. Best of all, they kept some of Meier & Frank’s great old art deco elevator designs. Bravo, Macy’s.
Cheers,
Emily
