NEW YORK — A $400 million makeover is giving New York’s iconic Macy’s store a sleek, new 21st-century style.

Today, dogs are welcome at places that were off limits to pets just a few years ago. No one is keeping track of the number of dog-friendly employers, but taking Fido to work and elsewhere appears to be a growing trend.

Over the past 20 years, there has been a dynamic shift in the look and feel of the regional shopping center. This truth is emphasized with the completion of the “open-air” City Creek Center in Salt Lake City.
