Area Woman Can't Bring Herself To Pardon Store's Appearance

THOUSAND OAKS, CA—Despite the prominent sign posted outside a Nordstrom department store asking shoppers to “Pardon Our Appearance,” Gina Calvert, 56, could not bring herself to do so Monday. “This is inexcusable,” Calvert said. “There are exposed beams and hastily built temporary walls everywhere I look. I’m sorry, but this is just too far out of line.” Calvert said she will take her business to Macy’s until Nordstrom begins to show its customers some respect.
