I remember my parents would buy my sister and I a 1/4 lb of chocolate stars from the candy counter whenever we went to Sears. And I remember spending hours pouring through the Christmas catalog.

Our local sears was turned into a Whole Foods two years ago.

I bought my first pump pellet gun from Sears. Since I was underage, the salesman told me to purchase it from the mail-order counter. Sure enough, no questions asked.

And I still have Craftsman tools (socket set and wrenches) from the 70s and 80s. Solid as ever and I have rebuilt many engines with them. My son used them on a science project for High School. Sad. :(
