I live in DC and was in the flagship downtown Macy's store last night, and it's really not all that high end. Macy's here is mid-level, on the same level as Dillards or Belk, IMO.
The really high end stores here are Nordstrom, Saks, Bloomingdale's. Huntsville does not have the demographics to support those kinds of stores. The parts of DC that have them have entire zip codes where the median household income is greater than 200k. The most affluent HSV zip is 35803, which has a median income of 61k.
Having said all that, Macy's would be a good fit for Huntsville. But why should HSV taxpayers kick in money for Bridge St? That makes no sense.
