21. I do miss Sears, Montgomery Wards, Broadway, which later became May Company, and others that dominated shopping malls.

23. Man I remember going to circuit city almost every weekend with my dad as he worked as a IT. Loved those weekends even tho I’d go empty handed most of the times, just being there was fun

24. It is interesting how most of these stores started in northern states before air conditioning became prevalent in the south. I guess most Americans back then lived up north because the summer heat in the south was too brutal without air conditioning. It would be interesting to find out how many new chain stores were created in the southern United States from the mid 1970s to today. Air conditioning has virtually revolutionized the south.

25. I remember Hill's and Kmart and AMES 😊
