Horrible! I’ve been meaning to shop there for years.. you know ... to support mediocrity. My good intentions should have gone a long ways! My grand daddy used to shop there...Inthink he bought a pair bought a pair of socks there to show his support. They were great socks and I remember him telling Me about how he loved them as he got the on a Blue Light Special! Wait... that was KMart! He meant to go there one time also... you know - to show support!
ReplyDeleteNo idea why they are going under! They were a great place! Maybe I will go some day and get a cup of coffee there.
