Classic Retailers are "Abandoning Shop" on New York City’s Fifth Avenue

If you’re looking to be hit by the Christmas blues, I recommend you make the walk over to Fifth Avenue and 38th street.  Any other year you would have run into long lines of tourists aiming to get a peek at the beloved, world-famous and historic Lord & Taylor holiday window display; but in 2018 all you will find is a sidewalk unobstructed by crowds, two lonely geese perched in a window and people wearing sandwich boards with wording that confirms the store’s imminent end: “Everything Must Go.”
