      Childhood store...gone!

      Doesn't really surprise me as the quality of the stores and employees have been on a decline over the last few years, from my experience.

      Yeah, they have been doing great prices over here in clearance.

        Can't remember the last time i even went in a store. Guess it to easy to shop online than drive an hour to visit a store

        Shopping online is nice and all, but I am also a pretty tactile shopper. I like to handle the product and check out its quality before I decide to purchase. For me, that (and the fact that I can get it right then and there) is the only reason why I still shop at brick & mortars anymore, other than consumables.

          We went to one in Pittsburgh last month when they announced the closings. No deals yet. Just wanted to check out what's what.

            @scottalanmiller Is it worth forking this thread to its own thread right where I posted the link?
