Toys-were-Us – one final look
We’d done a final trip just prior to the Tallahassee, FL Toy-R-Us closing on April 22, 2018. Earlier this week I did another trip across town to get a look at the bare hull of the place. There is really nothing but the building left at this point, with the lone exception of a final…
The Weight of the World
In late-mid January (2018) I was leaving the Publix down the street close to closing time and notice the requisite green weight scale sitting in the foyer (is that what they’re called in stores?), and a wave a trepidation flooded through me: were they getting rid of this dinosaur?

In a post from last week I mentioned going to a store called Roses when I was a kid back in DeLand. I hadn’t been in a Roses in nearly 30 years (the one back home closed and was then taken out by a tornado in the mid/late-90’s). But little did I know that a few…
