Filene's Basement up for sale

According to the Boston Herald Filene's Basement is going bankrupt and the entire chain is up for sale. Another old time Boston landmark dies. I used to buy suits there. You could get a decent wool suit, that even fit right, for a whole bunch less than the price upstairs in the regular Filenes store. Then there was that radio commercial years ago. "Here we are in a heavily fortified pill box at the entrance of Filene's basement. In just a minute the doors will open and we will be assaulted by an army of shoppers...." Can't remember what they were selling (it wasn't Filene's basement) but it was a cool ad.
