Well at least it's better than the usual Public Dormain cartoon tape
bin!

Never did pick up those shows much on DVD either.

I grow up in a medium-size city where stores like this do exist, but the
income is probably a little higher as well, which makes these stores
seem like an eyesore to those that would spend more. Apart from DG we
also have Family Dollar, Dollar Tree, Big Lots and a few other places
that aparently appeals to folks like my parents, but I don't care to
visit them much unless something interesting pops up. Big Lots of
course buys into closeout/warehouse items and brings in a few oddities
like packaged brand name foods made for the foriegn market. Like a Pop
Secret package written in Korean or Cocoa Puffs in Swedish. That's
probably the only fun I'd have going there!

Surprised they'd do that.

Didn't think you're on a farm! My brother who currently lives next door
has to have four cats roaming his tiny house, but I have to take care of
his fifth cat in mine.
The nearest Wally World is still a ways from my house, but I still have
some good shops closeby to go to first before them.

I have yet to resort to the net for anything besides eBay, though my
city is seeing a decline in things like shopping malls, as one of them
had to closed down earlier this year, and another one might be turned
into a "lifestyle center" (essentially an open-air type shopping mall
that tries to cater to nostalgic downtown shopping experience that is
not longer a part of the real downtown life).
Sadly the only supermarket left in my area is Kroger, as a local Ma & Pa
chain went kaput a few years back and A&P (through their Farmer Jack
chain) decided to call it quits after turning our nearby store into a
"Food Basics" then closed it outright due to lost sales (obviously).
The only thing my town is becoming known for lately is for it's many
vacant mammoths that accompany the vacant parking lots. I still lament
about the failure of a shopping plaza that was once the drive-in theater
just a few miles from me. From 1989 to the late '90s it was a Cub Foods
but is now dead. I'd rather it was the drive-in again, they had better
luck being closed mos of the time than it is now! :-)

I don't see why I still do. It's just the way it is where I am.
Sometimes the best deals come to me by sheer accident.
