Love the work put into these displays. All to pull you into the holiday spirit and into the store lol but no blatant displays of what was on sale. And the tradition of the nice restaurants in the grand old department stores. In Minneapolis the regional department store was Daytons. I remember going to their restaurant and having pop overs and wild rice soup for a nice lunch. My wife worked at Macy's in the 2000's when all the consolidation was going on in the department stores. Eventually Macy's owned a lot of the regional chains and rebranded them as Macy's.
