The Bon isn't going out of business, just changing its name. Get used to calling it Macy's. Seattlest is hoping that the name change will be just enough to upset the cadence and rhyme scheme of the incessant jingles used over the last 25 years to advertise the latest "One Day Sale" at The Bon (Marche). You know the tune, "Day-O. One day sa-a-a-ole. Saturday only at the Bon Marche!"
Nonetheless, we're sad to see the the Bon go, if it is in name only. We pause to remember other great Seattle institutions whose names can only be seen in the halls of museums: Kalakala, Frederick & Nelson's, Kozmo, etc. What names are we missing here?
