I think the downtown Macy's store looks better now and has done so much more with the store than Famous ever did with it.

As for this district being torn down... it is ashame, but it also flooded every year in the spring and fires broke out often here in the early years. When the arch was built it was also for flood control - the park was designed to be a new flood retaining wall as well - which protected the main business district and streets of the city - and it does so yet today.
