Re: Design Standards

In my travels (9 states this year, plus México) I see lots of new construction projects. IMO the aesthetic quality of new construction in Omaha remains mired at the very bottom of the pack.

Re: Macy's envy - where do they fit.

I'm going to hop in and give my perspective as a late-20s female. Macy's, to me, is a tired and dying brand whose best days are far behind it.
