Rebuilding Place in the Urban Space

"A community’s physical form, rather than its land uses, is its most intrinsic and enduring characteristic." [Katz, EPA] This blog focuses on place and placemaking and all that makes it work--historic preservation, urban design, transportation, asset-based community development, arts & cultural development, commercial district revitalization, tourism & destination development, and quality of life advocacy--along with doses of civic engagement and good governance watchdogging.

Keep it Fields

Macys.jpg

The Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports in "Macy's name is a turn-off for many, survey finds," that nearly 20 percent of Twin Cities shoppers would shop less at a store named Macy's rather than the current Marshall Field's (which is kind of interesting since only a few years ago, mostl the Field's stores in Minneapolis were actually branches of Dayton's the original company, which created Target, and purchased Fields a few years ago, merging Dayton's and Michigan-based Hudson's into the Marshall Fields Department Store division).

There is a consumer website devoted to Keep[ing] it Fields.
