Macy’s Is Kicking Off Summer by Celebrating American Icons
Macy’s has been an American Icon for over 155 years. In a celebration and salute to all the things that make us proud to live in the land of the free and the home of the brave, Macy’s is hosting a kick-off party and you’re invited to join us for all the in-store excitement. Flagship stores will be decked out with iconic American styles, live music, demos, and more.
I had the unique pleasure of joining in on the Macy’s Summer of American Icon’s last year when I took my older kids to the Macy’s Great American Drive In in downtown Los Angeles. We had such a great, great, great time I urge you to join in on the fun this summer.

I am curious to fiind out where is the site/background of the picture dated May 8, 2014; which is also selected by Macy’s as American Icon’s cover. Hope to learn from your response. Thanks.
