1. I really miss our KMart (north Seattle)

They put a Hobby Lobby in its place, but everyone I know boycotts Hobby Lobby, so I expect it will ultimately fold. I shopped at KMart a lot and was really sorry when it closed down. It was my go-to place for cleaning products, Christmas lights (sometimes ornaments), kitchen utensils, flashlights, etc. I was sorry when it closed. I know the CEO of Sears is more or less intentionally running both places into the ground.

What are we going to do when there's no retail left? I absolutely don't want to do my shopping online, yet I increasingly feel that one day I'll be forced to. Downtown Seattle is turning into a shopping desert (as is downtown NYC for that matter, and probably some other places).
