>> i believe it does extend to west field and the old bloomingdale.it's not just union square but the neighborhood we know has union square. >> supervisor haney: what would happen to the upper floors potentially? >> they could convert to office on some of them. >> supervisor peskin: on the third floor, with this compromise along, that's before you. >> supervisor safai: men's clothing tend to be on the up floors. bloomingdale, nordstrom, they all tend to be on the upper floors. >> i think that's changing there. they got rid of the macy's men. >> supervisor haney: can we write in the amendment to protect men's clothing? >> supervisor peskin: about the boundingries of the c3r, we can pull up the map. >> supervisor haney: let's do that. >> supervisor peskin: you can go to planning.org and tab on the like has the zoning map to pull that up. >> it has a movie theater and the office. >> supervisor peskin: there it is. well done aaron. i don't mean this aaron. there you go. i want to show that cursor around union square. >> it's this area here. this lighter p

[laughter] so now it is a thing you should go visit like a bloomingdale's or neiman marcus or saks fifth and just go in experience it. even the ladies room. it is just a little different. but it makes you feel like you want it. what is lost is that. that feeling of retail, people don't go into stores anymore. there is a greater detachment from the worker and consumer. we buy virtually everything online. this is why every year stores are struggling to get able to come in and purchase for christmas and thanksgiving. is part of the problem. with globalization we have to switch our mindset how we think about the worker, but what is key is to strengthen the bond between the consumer and worker again because the reason sitting campaigns could work is because the consumer could see itself as the worker and the worker asked the consumer because they are constantly -- they occupy both places. think it could still work given the switch of like racial demographics in the cities versus the country? i am from boston. neighborhood is being gentrified. the level of black people in the inner-city over t

retailers have been here for a century or more. ,ou have macy's, bloomingdale's barney's, so on and sofetch rated market, but it seems other retails want to coleman that's come in. .oe: big picture -- come in > joe: manhattan retail apocalypse has been a big story for a long time. .s that kind of overblown >> i feel like it is a bit overblown. a bunch of new retailers opening up and the hudson yards i will open up a ton of new retail space for that portion. caroline: what about those outside of new york? >> there's nothing around there really for shopping. it's an area for underserved. caroline: let's talk about where else is under pressure. this week, all eyes have been on luxury retailers because of china. we saw a lot of them get a kicking on back of what apple has said about the country. >> the concern about chinese luxury started late last summer. lvmh said there was a border crackdown happening. chinese tourists traveling abroad coming home were getting their bags searched more than normal and getting reprimanded for getting things past customs. ever since then, more things have

or going into barney's i was in bloomingdale's a few days ago and it felt like i is for on me. it's an incident where people have claimed discrimination. it's not so great all the time that's how i reconcile there are towns we didn't even know existed for decades. it's a hard city for black americans as well and especially our neighborhoods are safer segregated but we still are in space is often brings together people take the train together, sometimes we are even on the same block together with people that are different from us so it feels like maybe we are more integrated and we are one of the most segregated places in the country because we don't interact with each other. we are very segregated and that's how i kind of reconcile that and we can talk about it. everyone thinks they are immune to it and i think the south is better about acknowledging that. a lot of america is quite segregated. i feel the north somehow was better than the south but as you point out in the book -- >> guest: even the unionization's for example it's something that does positively impact african-ame

this is in bloomingdale neighborhood. can you hear there the screeching tins, the h going of course, the sound of that impact and a person you may have seen running away from that crash. these are the pictures of the aftermath. at least four cars, including some parked w vehiclese involved. one person had minor injuries. police not saying whatle exactl up to that crash. >>> and a minor crash on the highway escalated into a major road rage incident outside of boston. the dramatic encounter on friday left one man hanging on to the hood of an suv. nbc's kathy park reports on the intense argument all caught on camera. >> get off my car! >> reporter: it's not a movie scene but real life road rage r.ter ader ben 65-year-old richard karamowski jumped onhe hood of the suv attempting to leave the scene and the vehicle speeding up to 65 miles per hour on the massachusetts turnpike during rush hour. oi >> he kept gng faster to get him to slide off. >> the man managed to hang on for miles as an onlooker captured t dangerous highway r

i still have a relationship with the upper east side and going into barney's, i was in bloomingdale a few days ago and it felt like there were eyes on me. some of it is anxiety. it's not so great. that's how i reconcile. everywhere it's terrible. there are some areas we didn't even know existed for decades. it's a horrid city -- hard city where those spaces are often times together sometimes even on the same block together it feels like we are more integrated than we are because we don't interact with each other. there is like the black harlem professionals. i can't reconcile that and i think in the south they can talk about it more. i think the south is better acknowledging that. a lot of america is quite segregated. there's this idea that it was somehow better for that isn't the case at all. it is something that positively impacts how they get better jo jobs. there was somehow an active movement to keep us out and there was a huge thing that brought them into the middle class we have to think about and that is a very learned thing in housing particularly like i said in the neighborh

lugo, he was an accomplished retail executive and for some time he ran the men's department at bloomingdale's in chevy chase. he was known and liked by people at garfield house. hear now from ann bissel she's lived here for more than 52 years. does he look familiar to you? >> of course. we all new him. it's not a very large building. so we're -- the community we're familiar with most people who here. >> reporter: nice guy? >> nice guy. someone to say high rto. orter: for something like this to happen? >> it's unfortunate and it's deeply sad. but things happen. >> reporter: murder suspectco in potter asked the cops to kill him. he said he wanted to die, to they cuffed him, took him downtown, and booked on murder charges. dorene, back to you. >> pat collins reporting. thank you, pat. f>> earlier today police and investigators went back to the scene of another d.c. homicide thisast saturday. investigators found joseph burgess and regina bowman inside a burning home at the corner of ely place and minnesotavee in southeast d.c. in this case the medical examiner said the victims had been beaten and

at one time he ran the men'srt dent at bloomingdale's in chevy chase. back at the garfield house, this reaction. he lives above the floor of the murder scene. >> terrible. terrible it happens in your own neighborhood. it happens here. hopefully his sexuality didn't play a role in it. hopefully that wouldn't be a fasooring thing. eah, it's terrible, though. >> reporter: now on the murder scene suspect collin potter begangi b his head repeatedly against the wall. he told the cs thathe, too, wanted to die. they cuffed him and then booked him on murder charges. wendy, back to you. >> pat collins, what a story. thank you, pat. >>> well, your dreaded drive along i-81 in vginia it could soon come with a hefty price. you may be ping a pretty big toll. interstatethat e volving semis and buses h resulted in long ys. that's why today governor ralph northam said funding is nded to make improvements. they're backing a $2 billion plan that wod widen the highway in some areas and lengthen the lanes you use to merge. the toll would be $50 for trucks and $25 for cars th

[laughter] so now as a thing you should go visit like a bloomingdale's or neiman marcus or saks and justgo in and experience it. even it is to use the ladies room. it is very different. it is just a little different. but the allure of that makes you feel like you want it. what is lost is that, that feeling of retail, that's lost, and people don't go into stores anymore. so there is like a greater detachment from the worker and consumer. we buy virtually everything online, it feels like. this is why every year stores are struggling to get people to come in and purchase for their christmas and thanksgiving sales. that is in part what the problem is. i think with globalization we have to switch our mindset with how we think about the worker, but i think the key is to try to strengthen the bond between the consumer and the worker again, because the reason why sit in campaigns could work is because the consumer could see itself as the worker at the worker could see itself as the consumer because they occupy both places. >> do you think it could still work given the switch of like , like racia

going into barneys, i was in bloomingdale's you know, if you days ago.nd i got these pants from there! you know, it felt like eyes were on me. and is it some of it my anxiety? maybe. some of it real?i'm sure. there incidents where people have claimed harassment or discrimination, it is not so great all the time for black americans. so that's how i reconcile with. i reconcile is saying everywhere is terrible, there is a slave burial ground downtown new york city that we didn't even know existed for decades. it is a hard city for black americans as well. and superficially i think because our neighborhoods are super segregated. but we still like, we are in space is often times together, people take the train together. sometimes we even live on the same blocks together with people that are vastly different from us. it feels maybe like we're more integrated than we are. new york i think is still one of the most segregated places in the country. we don't interact with each other. you know, we're in these places together but when interact i think there is like

i went to bloomingdales, and i said to the guy "where are the men's underpants?" don't buy underpants for others. [ laughter ] and the guy said to me, without me asking, the guy says to me, "oh, these are great. these are moisture wicking." i've never heard that before. >> jimmy: yeah. >> i don't know what moisture wicking is. >> jimmy: that's a good thing. >> so, i said -- why is that a a good thing? what is moisture wicking? >> jimmy: i have no idea. but it is a thing that's happening right now. you know -- >> but not in underpants. you don't want -- if you should be unlucky enough to moisten your underpants, you don't want them wicked. you want them off. >> jimmy: yeah. >> i don't want them -- [ laughter ] what's happening? i just wet myself. it's okay. they're wicking as we speak. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you'll be wicked clean. >> so, i thought of that in the middle of the night. and i thought, "this will be a a routine." >> jimmy: yeah. >> i'll do on -- i swear to you. so i wrote down, "i want my wet underpants off. i don't want them wicked." and i used to yea

shirt says something, but you could have bought your michael kors from the marshalls or from bloomingdale's. so this is where things get a little more complicated. estelle, you had your hand up. >> if it's so accessible now to gain the materials that made you pure middle class, does the definition of middle class shift? does is expand then to include more people, or does it shift to keep that exclusiveness to it, to something different? >> i would argue that in the 20th century, it includes more people. but that also means that in addition to being able to consume certain goods, you're also of a certain education level and in a certain job. there's certain requirements or characteristics that make one of the black middle class now. it's not simply about the good. that's a large part of it. but it's also about the type of work one has and the type of work one has is typically dependent on the type of education one has. >> yeah, i feel like still today, people search for that exclusivivity, especially when they're wearing something. liking i know people that definitely don't have the money to

i went to saks i didn't i just drove and dropped off i went to bloomingdale's. >> you did macy's that's's. >> i'm aware the old federated. >> yes you covered the burning bed. >> yes. >> journal does put it on page one. jcpenney faces a do or die year. they quote mark coen on our air quite a bit, former sears executive, saying it is a broken business. >> if you think that, you should buy ulta the only part of penny's business that is working is sephora and i think ulta is firing on all cylinders. >> netflix shares showing a bit more weakness after the print last week. >> what is that? >> some people still looking at the international business of netflix and talking about the average revenue per user and deceleration. >> not benefitting from first ever best picture nominee this morning in "roma." they lead withten, ten nominations. >> that's worthy of some sort of valuation change i have to tell you, if you haven't seen "punisher", you're a wus. "punish "punisher" is amazing. season two there is something to, like, you go to netflix and it says, you say who you are, and they push this stu
