Oh, Kmart... some MTQ solutions for you.
If you're an old fart living in the great northeast and wish for some nostalgia, look no further than a trip to Kmart. Before Target and Walmart arrived on the scene there was Kmart and other, now gone, discount stores such as Bradlees, Ames, Caldor, The Big N, and Montgomery Wards. If I were to have bet on the survivors and casualties back 25 years ago, I don't know if I would have picked Kmart to be the living dinosaur among us. To its credit, Kmart has never appeared on the MTQ Shit list, but that is because Kmart is not a regular MTQ destination and there are many other choices that make shopping at Kmart unnecessary. So it was, that this MTQ author took a special journey to Kmart for this post. Upon entering the parking lot of the Albany, NY Central Avenue Kmart, the first thing that strikes you is how vacant the parking lot is. Unfortunately, this is normal and this parking lot is rather empty every day and I like many others often wonder, how does this store keep open?
