    Bon-Ton Stores expected to close

    Younkers, Boston Store, Carson’s depending on where you are located.

    I worked a holiday season at Carson's. It's sad the experience of shopping at a department store may soon be a day of the past.

    They were Bergners where I was as a kid. Nice store got a lot of MOTU toys and Barbies there. Its sad to see them go.

    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

        Funny how things cycle. It wasn’t that long ago shopping at department stores was a thing of the future. In secluded rural areas one would have to rely on a Sears and Roebuck catalog to purchase such elaborate items like a pocket watch, fancy dress or nice suit. But at that time ones whole day in those areas might have revolved around putting food on the table or being productive. So I often wonder what new productivity will arise from this new found extra time created by no longer having to go shopping. Or will one just sit in their jammies with their nose planted deeply in their smart phone reading and learning important things or maybe just spew their opinions around the web as time passes quickly by. After all, all their old friends are there too doing the same thing. Just strikes me as odd. Are we as a civilization really evolving or is it the opposite. Hmmn too much time on my hands I suppose. So it goes. Good bye shopping and whatever comes next. (Hello virtual reality) Lol
