Macy's plans 24-hour sales to boost holiday shopping
Filed under: Shopping
Opening on Black Friday at 6am gave Macy's a shot of adrenaline, so the retailer is going to try it again. Several Macy's stores will be open for 24 hours-a-day on the lead-up to Christmas Day, akin to what the store did last year, but bigger.
This year, 13 stores will open for a four-day stretch. At stores in the New York area, this will be a 132-hour marathon from 6am on December 19 to 6pm on December 24. For stores in Cherry Hill, N.J., Troy, Mich., Tysons Corner, MD Va. and various other locales (including the flagship in Manhattan), there's a 108-hour marathon from 6am on December 20 to 6pm on Christmas Eve. For the latest hours in your area, check with Macy's.

Sorry, Tony. You are mistaken, Sue is right. Unless you can tell me and everyone else in MD/VA/DC WHO SHOP at the enormous center where Tysons Corner, MD is on mapquest!

Hey Tony,
Before you begin to fault the posting of another, you should proof read your own. Mapquest is indeed handy for locations, but you need help with basic grammer.
"their" is used to show possession, as in "the children were excited to open their Christmas presents". You should have said "there".
Furthermore, if you use Mapquest to find Tysons Corner, MD here is what the site says, "We did not find an exact match for your search, but we found a similar location: Suggestions: Use this similar location: Tysons Corner, VA. Revise your search and try again.
I suggest that you revise your comment and try again.

Just went on Mapquest and looked for Tysons Corner, Md.
Exact response:
"We did not find an exact match for your search, but we found a similar location:
Suggestions:
* Use this similar location: Tysons Corner, VA"
Which version of Mapquest are you using, Mr. Obviously-not-from-the-DC-area Tony?

R u all seriously arguing over where something is? There is a Walden Galleria Near me in Buffalo, New York , there are also 7 more all over the country. ( a mall with hunderds of stores in it)... Did y'all ever think , there might be more than one Tyson's corner? OH OF COURSE NOT, BECAUSE YOU ALL HAVE TO BE RIGHT. Save the fighting for when you are off line.

Ask anyone in the DC area how to get to Tyson's Corner, bet you won't end up in Maryland.

What was the bit about Tyson's with MD crossed out and VA put in? Is it supposed to be funny? Cuz I don't get it. Tyson's is in Virginia and always has been. I guess some Marylander is jealous of our huge prominent well-known shopping area.

NYC attny said...
Thought is article was about Macy's??? All the Blogs are about where Tyson's Corner is.....Does anyone really care where it is? Leave it to the Rednecks to fight over it, they are still fighting the Civil War, and they lost that too. Some on here are here just to correct the spelling of others......People, get a life the article is about Macy's, not spelling, grammer or where the hell Tyson's Corner is

Alice,
It is spelled grammar rather than grammer. Otherwise, you are correct.

It's so funny how hicks in MD and VA have nothing better to do than argue if and where there is a Tyson's Corner in their state. I live in NJ in a town fifteen minutes from Princeton, (which by the way my couisn is a second year pre-med student at Princeton University), and we live in a million dollar home on four acres of property next door to a horse farm, I felt the need to tell you that because soooo many people in other states give NJ a bad rap and perceive it as what they see when they drive down the NJ turnpike heading towards NYC. Yes that area, Newark, Elizabeth, Jersey City are smog filled shitty cities. I keep begging my sister in law who lives in Grayson, GA to get away from the hicks and move farther up the East Coast back to NJ where she was born and raised, but since she and her husband are both practicing attornies with three children, that will never happen. One can only hope!! In NJ we have everything at our fingertips. From where I live ... I can hop on 95 South and be in Philadelphia in 45 minutes, or hop on the train heading North and be in NYC in under an hour. Or hop on the Atlantic City Expressway and be in AC in an hour. We have a condo down at the beach on 24'th and Central Ave. in Seaside Park, NJ (which is right on the ocean)!! So I ask you, why does NJ get such a bad rap??? I would rather live in NJ than in any other state in the country!

Apparently, you didn't attend Princeton, lol or your English would be a lot better that it is, hopefully. Attornies, lol? Attorney's is the correct way to spell a pluralized form of that word. Million dollar house? Must be a tiny place, compared to Summit, lol....you're a joke! Did you go to school in Newark?

Aren't you special? Do one of your maids or butlers type out your responses, too? It seems like too much work for a princess like you. I mean really, wouldn't want to break a nail, now would you? By the way, my relatives own property at Seaside and I spent every summer there while growing up. It's not so special, but I do have a lot of special memories of the place and people there, who certainly are not princesses and braggarts like you. Most Jersey folks are really great. I feel sorry for you that you are so insecure and have the need to brag this way to a bunch of people you don't even know.
