usps doesn't deliver to the forums but somehow all of shaggars posts get here just fine so the private sector is doing a great job of trash delivery imo

it is a depressing store

their CEO is a libertarian numbskull who is running a real-world version of 'why libertarianism doesn't work' with sears and kmart

also lots of older poo poo was more repairable than now

lots of older poo poo had components the size of a baby's arm that were available off-the-shelf in more generalized forms; speciality manufacturing, relentless cost-cutting, and the relative ease of custom fabrication has killed that dream

the largest local mall has 3 department stores on the periphery, a jc pennys, dillards and macys. between the two wings of the mall was the sears; if you wanted to go to more than one store you usually had to go through the sears

it was the most depressing thing ever. like they had an absolutely enormous amount of foot traffic, but there were rarely things for sale close to the main path, lighting was dim, it looked like it had never been cleaned, displays were ancient and so forth. the store was packed from people trying to get from one end to the other end of the mall and nobody ever stopped and bought anything because they were actively trying to get people to not buy stuff I guess?

my wife along with every non-native Kentuckian I have ever met thinks Fayette Mall is the weirdest loving thing because of the Sears being in the middle like that

although I guess that Sears is gone now

they're replacing it with a cheesecake factory

seriously

there is a new sears in lexington though; it replaces a space that was formerly occupied by a blockbuster video which i find loving hilarious (specifically man o war/saron drive; near tates creek/man'o'war across from the kroger)

I guess my dad will be happy that he can still go buy craftsman tools somewhere
