Walk: Sears

Last couple of weekends were full of rain, so I didn't get a chance to do any outdoor photography. As the forecast had it, Saturday was supposed to be sunny. Saturday. Sunny it is, at around 85 Fahrenheit with no cloud or wind(in another word, hot). Now, due to the long work hours on Friday and plenty of chores for me to do today, I decided not to do the usual photography weekend. Instead, I would walk on an unplanned route. This unplanned-route idea is basically to pick a busy street, and walk as far as possible. The route for today was six miles long crossing two cities.

As usual, I took the liberty to do some side trips into the local stores and point of interests as I pass them. There were few unique things to see on today's trip, including a cemetery that is over 100 years old, and a mini Statue of Liberty. However, one of a more interesting place for today's walk happened to be Sears. Yes, Sears.

It was right after I came out of a local owned furniture-electronic store that I walked into this mysterious Sears. It took me about thirty seconds, and a 360 degrees scan of the whole place before I realized something seems wrong with this Sears. Lots of clothes and no electronic appliances in sight. I had been to several locations of Sears before, and there were electronic appliances in every corners and shelves. Yet, the only high tech goods they offer here were TVs and DVDs. I strolled around the places for five minutes before leaving. It was only after I walked out to the parking lot and took a good look at the sign before I realized the reason for the unusual products selection. I laughed as I read the sign...

Sears Essentials

The essentials said it all. After several hours of sightseeing later, I came home and googled for "Sears Essentials". Found out that this is another branch of Sears that expands into the female consumers market and the fashion sector. Essentially, it means that I probably would not go in there again.
