Further information on the sale will be proviuded as it becomes available.
So, what's your take on this??
ReplyDeleteReally, I'm torn. I hate to see Parisian go, but it could certainly be in worse hands than Belk.
ReplyDeleteIt's a done deal.
ReplyDeleteI noticed. in fact, I'm in a bit of a fight with some posters over on UrbanPlanet over how this isn't the end of the freakin' world.
ReplyDeleteI know they all seem like they've got a boot up their asses about this. ;)
ReplyDeleteParisian meant a lot to a lot of people, but after we've lost so many quality department stores that were more distinctive, this seems like crying over spilt milk more than anything.
