My mom went shopping the other day and the worker at the register told her that the Macy's would be closing for renovation in March 2012 and they would not be open again until early 2013.

What could they be doing that would take that long? It's a clothing store for pete's sake!

I guess it's true, I found this on the mall's website:
Westfield South Shore Mall News & Events
Quote:
Macy's Remodel


In an effort to best serve the Long Island community, Macy’s has announced that a new two-level, 200,000 square foot store will replace the existing store at Westfield South Shore.


The current Macy’s store is scheduled to close in March 2012 for razing, with construction scheduled to begin shortly thereafter on the new store which will open in the fall of 2013. Please check back frequently for project updates.

It's about time. Certain areas of that store are out of a time warp.

That mall hasn't been any good since my friends and I used to ride our bicycles around it before it was enclosed and the Blue Laws were in effect. Heck..I remember going into Hills grocery store biting the end of italian bread and turning it around in the wrapper so it looked fine.

Turquoise Indian, boyyyyeeeee!

I was in that Macy's last month to do some xmas shopping, it definitely looks straight out of 1977. I'm guessing this is less of a remodel than a complete gut and rebuild.

You have forever changed the way I will view Italian bread. It never really suited me to have an end exposed but I simply said, well it has been that way forever, it can't be a problem. Stop being too skeevy. I will now check every loaf!!!

No problem Nuts. It was afterall 35 years ago and I don't do that anymore. Just be careful though at the Stop & Shop salad bars. You notice how some of the olives are missing the little pimento piece ? mmmmmmmm...

In other general south shore Suffolk area news...

Word has it that when the Waldbaum's closes in East Islip, Traders Joes is moving in.

A Best Yet is supposedly moving into the new complex in Islip Terrace where Marys Pizza is.
