Sad.....They've already announced the closing of the auto center here in Bismarck.
Sears had an integral part in the development of the Mid-West. The Sear's catalog was the only place you could buy things if you lived in rural America. Heck, you could even buy a house - there are many of them here in NDak. I can remember coming to town and stopping at the Bismarck Sears store to see what was new.
Now their's 3 Walmarts, a Sam's Club and many big-box stores. I wish our children and grandchildren could have the opportunity to experience the simpler up bring that my wife and I did.
