dude legit starts his tour with the bathroom stall
edit: and then buys a literal chris chan shirt (t shirt version but still)
Is this really, TC?
This reminds me of when Crono showed us his YouTube channel and it was strangely really interesting
The end of an era. Soon there probably won't be any of these left at all.
Dying stores always make me sad. They are just things, but they are also places where memories are madeIt makes sense. Blue light special has become a part of popular culture, the look of a Kmart is in our memories.
They are just things, but they are also places where memories are made. Where people meet, chat, browse, and buy. Where stories are told, dreams are shared, and emotions are felt....at a Kmart?
Dying stores always make me sad. They are just things, but they are also places where memories are made. Where people meet, chat, browse, and buy. Where stories are told, dreams are shared, and emotions are felt. There is something lost when a store closes its doors for the last time. A part of history, a part of culture, a part of life.
I know it is hypocritical of me to say this, as someone who shops online now. I know I am part of the reason why stores are dying. I know I should support them more, visit them more, shop in them more. But I also know that online shopping is more convenient, more affordable, more accessible. It is hard to resist the temptation of clicking a button and getting what I want delivered to my door.
But sometimes I miss the feeling of walking into a store, smelling the scent of new books or fresh flowers, touching the fabric of a shirt or the cover of a magazine, hearing the music or the chatter of other customers, seeing the colors and the shapes and the styles of the products. Sometimes I miss the human connection, the interaction with the staff, the smile or the nod or the thank you. Sometimes I miss the thrill of finding a bargain or a treasure or a surprise.
I dont know if stores will ever come back to life, or if they will fade away into oblivion. I dont know if online shopping will ever replace the experience and the joy of shopping in person. I dont know if I will ever stop feeling sad when I see a dying store.
It they also remember me a time when I was happy. I was healthy and I had the world at my fingertips. But depression and fear let that slide by. The passage of time is walk down the hall way of regret , and old stores are a monument to that. Forever frozen in time. Or worst it dying sell to be infested with a seasonal store.
That was fun to watch lol >_>
Your voice sounds like a League of Legends streamer I follow, lmao

People create things during their lives and as people we acsribe value to these creations, big and small. When they die it reminds us that both the things we create that give us pleasure and sentimental feelings are impermanent, and so too are we. And so too is humanity.
It's just a chain store, but humans are good at recognizing ourselves reflected in the world. As a kid things like K-Mart and David Bowie and the school we went too seem as much a part of the world as the sky and the stars, but they all pass in time.
Kmart always had a late 80's vibe to it right to the end.
...at a Kmart?
Every Kmart I've ever been in always smelled like leaking ink pens. No exceptions.
crazy that place still is so...90'sKmart basically stopped doing capital improvements to stores around 1988, so yeah.

Kmart was a gold mine for finding hard to find games. I remember finding a copy of Dragon Quest V for DS there years ago. It was still retail price but it was after it was long out of print and hard to find for a decent price anywhere else.
kmarts day of having video games has long past. Its been over a decade since Ive seen a Kmart with some video games in it
I remember. That particular location closed years ago but there was another one by me that stayed open much longer and they had nothing.
it is miracle Kmart is even still going. They should have shut down years agoThere's only two left in the mainland US. Guam and Puerto Rico Kmarts keep hanging on.

Worked in the West Orange,NJ Kmart about a decade ago and it seemed like it never got past the 90s
Every Kmart I've ever been in always smelled like leaking ink pens. No exceptions.Every one i've been in had the smell of that buttery popcorn they used to sell. Even after they stopped selling it, the store continued having that smell.
That was fun to watch lol >_>Sword's videos are awesome.
