Where did this information about Macy's on Rte 1 come from ?
I just called the store and the Manager told me that is a complete falsehood and if it was true they would have to close to get rid of them.
He also wanted to know where the information came from......
That is a terrible thing to post on here if it isn't true and I can't find a report or a story anywhere to confirm what was posted.
If no proof is forthcoming that post should be deleted !! |

| The article says Macy's NYC and looks as if it came from a Woburn paper. |
