Re: Millennium Tower - Filene's
There were over 20 Filene's Basement stores at the time they liquidated. So flagship or not, FB had ceased being a tourist's destination. Why go to Boston when there were a half dozen stores in NY, and stores as distant as Florida, Georgia, Ohio, Illinois?
There was nothing unusual, let alone unique, about the Basement in its final years, --nothing at all like the original Basement, except for the street address.
