End Of An Era - a photo on Flickriver

End Of An Era

We shopped at the oldest-standing Sears store in the United States, after hearing it was going to close after 90 years in business, having originally opened in November 1925.

Sears is very much a part of my retail story going back to young childhood. I used to love the candy counter and video game (Atari) station at the Sears store in the Flint area (where I grew up), at the Genesee Valley Mall.

My grandparents ordered their *house* from a kit from Sears, which is still standing in northwestern Ohio.

I am very much sad this store is closing, but I got some great deals on some great merchandise. I want Sears to survive.
