As far as we were concerned, the only good thing about the switch from Dayton’s to Marshall Fields was the arrival of Frango Mints. Which truly are life changing.

Brink, it is sad indeed. As a native of the Chicago suburbs I remember going to fields with my parents in December to see their Christmas decorations. I think a lot of people have the same fond memories of that holiday tradition and it is a shame that the next generation of Chicagoans won’t have the same opportunity.
