i don't know if anyone else will find this interesting, but I was recently in a midwestern basement and came across an old furnace humidifier, and a Sears electronic air cleaner. Pretty neat.

@LLS @pluralistic I first got online via , the service owned in part by (and superior to in nearly every way) so I can confirm firsthand that the company was absolutely ready and well-positioned in the mid-1990's to be a leader well into this 21st century

They pulled it with ,and the point of the viral Olive Garden dis track was to soften up the company for its own bust out.

The bust out tactic wasn't limited to mocking middlebrow family restaurants. For years, the crooks who ran these ops did a brisk trade in blaming the internet. Why did tank? Everyone knows that the 19th century business was an antique, incapable of mounting a challenge in the age of e-commerce.

At the time of its opening in 1939, the Downtown Sears location was the largest department store in Houston.

The store closed in 2018 and the property, owned by Rice University, began undergoing renovations with the goal of transforming the building into a tech incubation and startup center.

In 2021, The Ion opened for use as a tech innovation hub. ionhouston.com/

Dear friends,
Today's image features an impromptu . This was taken in 2015. He was an appliance salesman at a department store.

That store is now gone along with most of the Sears stores.

A clipping from the #1975 Christmas catalog for "Headphone Radios." I love that the first example they give for an activity you can do while wearing them is "hours of hiking." 😂

In 2010 I took a photo of the best sign. This was out on Long Island somewhere.

A minor retail archaeology find we made when we cleaned up my mother-in-law's residential museum a couple of months ago. It's a paper bag from Sears dating to around 1970.

I was a kid when I first heard of sometime in the late ‘70s. In 1981, he endorsed the originally titled “Championship Soccer” cartridge for the 2600. That name was soon changed to “Pelé’s Soccer.” I remember scoring a copy of it at for $1.99 new a year or so later and was thrilled to get a game so cheap. Plus it was really fun, so that was a plus. Anyway, . may not be big in the States, but you’re still a legend to us.
