    …empty, dirty and rotting. The signage remains, ad flyers in the windows, with some scattered vending machines and shopping carts still in the entry.

        That store had closed several years before the chain closure, and it became a Best Buy.

          ^Thanks. Didn't know that. It's been years since I've been to Syracuse. I usually go to Clay or North Syracuse.

            What's up with this Burlington Coat Factory soft-invasion ?

            Back in the day my ma would take me there --- The REAL Burlington Coat Factory in Burlington, New Jersey.

            Would always get a new Snorkel Coat for the winter ---- today known as a Parka

            Surprised Burlington is doing so well

              One of ours became a new TJ Maxx / JoAnn Fabrics combo. They basically tore it down and redid the center with those two as co-anchors. The other became a "Golf Galaxy", which I assume sells golf clubs, etc.

                Never heard of Golf Galaxy but there’s a Golf Warehouse store down the street from me, I love there cool base golf shirts, quite comfortable for spring-summer and fall.

                  It became an Oil and Gas (Fracking) Safety Supply that is extremely political.
                  Looking for Green Arrow accessories, Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver, and Japanese Popy Megos (Battle Cossack and France, Battle of the Planets, Kamen Rider, Ultraman) and World Heroes figures

                      Must have been an awfully big closet
