It says a lot about changing shopping patterns that the Mall parking lot has enough space to host a whole carnival – back in the day when that was the only place to shop, there wouldn’t have been enough room to put even a single merry-go-round in the parking lot.

Which reminds me that our Sears store will be closing soon and I need to go over there and see if I can stealth-photo its growing emptiness…
