Win an Angry Birds Star Wars Telepods Endor Chase Game (Ends 10/23)

Star Wars and Angry Birds. Two great tastes that taste great together! Yeah, when the Angry Birds Star Wars app first came to a galaxy near, near home, I jumped all over it. And loved it to pieces.

While taking a walk during my lunch break, I headed over to Macy’s at Herald Square (35th and Broadway). And wouldn’t you know it, right there in the street, in front of Macy’s itself was a swimming pool. A two-lane swimming pool. In October. …
