After a weekend of watching music's future at Pitchfork (and remember when we talked to P4k's Chris Kaskie about the festival back in March?) , this week's entry to the Chicagoist Podcast series takes a bit of a look backwards.
Last week saw a story about the return of Frango Mints production to the Chicagoland area - is that good news or bad news for the people who want Marshall Fields to come back to town as well? Jim McKay runs FieldsFansChicago.org and talked with the Chicagoist Podcast about whether there's still hope for a return of the Field's name to the historic store - and whether or not it's a lost cause.
Along similar lines, Alex Lucas created the site ItsTheSearsTower.com in response to the news that we'd be basking in the shadow of the Willis Tower as of last week. What is his view on the tower's name change, what can be done about it, and how many people have signed on to his petition with him in the last few hours and days?
If you've got a hankering to subscribe to the Podcast Series via iTunes you can do so at your leisure here, or plug us into the RSS Reader of your choice. Let us know if there's anything else out there in history that you'd like someone to say "gee, it sucks that they're gone as well" about. Because we can do that as well.
Podcast collage features "Let me tell you what I think about this 'Willis Tower' business" by Katie Scully and "Fuck Macy's" by Andrew Huff.

Wherefore doesn't mean where, it means why.
This is what happens when I decide to go against form and not alliterate.
In that specific Shakespeare instance, it means why, but it doesn't always have to mean why.
wherefore |ˈ(h)we(ə)rˌfôr| archaic
interrogative adverb
for what reason : she took an ill turn, but wherefore I cannot say.
relative adverb & conjunction
as a result of which : [as conj. ] truly he cared for me, wherefore I title him with all respect.
I really don't get this brand loyalty. Marshall Field & Company as opposed to R. H. Macy & Co., Sears Brands, LLC over Willis Group Holdings. Atleast Charles Comiskey was a real person and not a corporation. Do we really need to get up in arms about whom we are giving free advertisements to when the better choice (in my opinion) would be to not advertise at all?
Judging by the size of that chick, I'm sure she could be bribed with a few boxes of Frango mints and a diet coke. Seems like her time could be better spent on a treadmill
Spook, there's something different about you ...
uhm really? ;-)
