I think the last time I was in a Sears was about 1996. And even then, it was just to cut through it on way inside the Neshaminy Mall.
Even in my teens, I always thought of Sears as "lame." I still carry the scar of wearing Toughskins amid my Levi-clad peers in the always-tough pubescent middle school years. I have done nothing to support the chain, yet I still feel sad they are now suffering a slow death. I guess I've underestimated the attachment Sears has to my carefree (well less care filled) childhood. I remember paging through the Wish Book to circle some NFL gear, a Snoopy radio and, of course, several Megos. Long live the Wish Book!!
