Another business flees

[steve-in-kville]

The retail environment is also constantly changing. Most business closures have nothing to do with crime. It is mismanagement. That is why places like Sears, JC Penny, Bed Bath & Beyond, Toys R Us, etc. have closed. They get replaced by new businesses. The Bed Bath & Beyond that closed near my house last year is now a PetCo. The JC Penny building got remodeled into a biotech lab.

I think the old school department stores are a thing of the past. I think the only one left in our area is Boscov's. Sears is gone. Kmart is gone. We do have a Ghetto-mart Wal-mart but that is a story for another day....

Been a while since a store closed here. Last one was Shopko, which is now Grace Church (stylised grace church), which is part of the Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches, which is a formerly Anabaptist denomination that retained full immersion (three times backwards and once forward, or maybe I have that backwards) but otherwise accepted Calvinism, so one is presumably predestined to be triple-dunked (or predestined not to be), and they mandated that every church shall have the word “Grace” (or “grace”) in its name.

A celebrity chef of sorts has plans to open two restaurants in San Francisco to combat crime.

I don't take any prescription drugs, and only go in the chain stores occasionally to buy money....

Please expound on this "buy money" you speak of

I wondered if that phrase would attract attention.

The chain drugstores sell prepaid debit cards, which are essentially money.
