Metaphor Failure! Metaphor Failure!
In a
story about how Macy's will revitalize downtown when its preceding Famous-Barr gave up and lie curled in a fetal position at the corner of 6th and Olive, we have a gusher:
"This is exactly the punch in the arm downtown needed," she said. "I think this is just the beginning. Famous-Barr had been here for years. Then Macy's took it over and, boom, they brought it back."
There you have it. Macy's is giving downtown a punch in the arm. Sorta like the bigger kids in gym class. No word on when Macy's will
demand the lunch money of downtown, but all corporations do, sooner or later.
