Filene's was a Boston institution for almost a century and a quarter until it was merged out of existence by Federated Department Stores. Across the country, Federated replaced all of May Companies regional names, including Hecht's, Kaufmann's, and Strawbridge's, with Macy's. The former Filene's site is being renovated and converted into a mixed use development of luxury condominiums, retail stores, a 250 room hotel, and 600,000 square feet of offices. Here is another view of the site from <a href="http://bostondailyphoto.blogspot.com/2008/04/danger-falling-floors.html">Boston Daily Photo</a>.Clueless in bostonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00246601221880879890noreply@blogger.com
