> K-Mart is more sad, it's more like the dilapidated shanty, leaning to one side, with ten kids playing in the yard.
I'll bet I first stepped foot in to a K-Mart some 40 years ago. The really sad thing is that by my recollection, K-Mart has always been that way. Dirty, poorly-lit in many cases, and eternally in need of an update. Perhaps there was a time that K-Mart stores looked shiny, new and not run down, but it must have been before my time.
There was a time in the Super K era where the stores were pretty well done. The grocery store side was even pretty nice. It did pretty well in some areas, but they just couldn't change their reputation and Target kept the high end and Walmart kept the low end, leaving Kmart in this bad middle ground.
