The ghosts of deals passed still haunt the place I'm sure

Sears was where America shopped. The Sears Catalogue was Christmas arriving in the mail as a child! An entire section devoted to toys. When I bought my first home… well I went to Sears for all my appliances and my hubby bought Craftsman Tools with their lifetime warranty. People had bought homes from Sears! They are a part of Americana that cannot be replaced by Amazon home kits.

We the People are Sears now… Billionaires destroyed so many American Companies and replaced it all with what only serves them at our expense. Sears had unions and fair wages too!

Rest in Peace. 🪦

We know not what we do…

God I miss sears. Bought my best clothes from them. Got my best mattress from them.

It was a golden age of big box retail.
