Dying stores always make me sad. They are just things, but they are also places where memories are made
It makes sense. Blue light special has become a part of popular culture, the look of a Kmart is in our memories.

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.
