Most come here to go to Soho to holiday shop. Not This lady, Macys. I love Macys. But I hear they bought Marshall Fields in Chicago and now its called Macys. I would have left the name stand. That's how its done more than half that time anyway. Let them think they have some self respect left. Like the way the Romans did it. They had the Macy's parade last week. I missed it. Maybe next year. Biggest balloon they ever had was this year it was was Shrek. http://www.flickr.com/photos/30201239@N00/2055584391/ I find this photo deeply funny. If I was a kid I think that would scare the hell out of me. Give me the Pillsbury dough boy balloon any day. That will put the fear... Into anybody. Mark William Rabiner markrabiner.com
