That Sears in Ellicott City, MD I've only ever been in one time just because I was thinking, "What? I thought Sears were only found in malls!" As it turned out, there was once a small mall on US 40 where that closing Sears is located. And honestly, people can just drive 10 minutes to the next closest one from there. It's hard to believe that for most of the 20th century, Sears was the nation's largest retailer. I've left a couple comments on flickr's catalog images on the TMNT sections. Despite efforts to move online, it's prices either can't compete with competitors or simply have low quality for what you'll pay for. I feel that Wal-Mart really ate into KMart, and Target/Macy's/Home Depot/Lowe's (since there are so many of those around now) really ate into Sears. I realized this about 15 years ago in fact that Sears/Kmart's best days were behind them.
