This is one of the few times I'm not bothering to blur out my reflection in a picture on here -- I'm pretty sure the red spheres are doing a good enough job of distorting it on their own! Anyway, I'm sure you've all seen Macy's holiday decorations, which largely consist of lots of large red ornaments, many times. I'm not sure if the ceramic-looking trees (I'm sure they're really just plastic) are actually a Macy's thing or belong to one of the cosmetics brands -- they have their own labels, but I can't really read them.
It is a bit strange to see a Macy's with so much light up at the front end of the store! Not just light, but light from regular fluorescent fixtures. Most Macy's I know are quite dark and use a lot of spot/track lighting kind of like an early Lifestyle Safeway. In some ways, the front end lighting at this mall's Sears was fancier than what Macy's has! The Pasadena Town Square Sears and Macy's here in Houston were like that, but that was a newer, nicer 1990s Sears and an early 1960s Foley's with an ad-hoc mall entrance when the mall opened in the 1980s.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to a ton of Macy's stores around here, but I feel like they typically have normal lighting like what this store has. I guess the Bon Marche wasn't into fancier lighting! That's the thing with Macy's... since they're made up of what used to be a bunch of separate companies, their stores in different areas tend to look wildly different.
