What the fuck is this shit? Did nobody else know about this for like the past 2 years?

Lmich, I had a good laugh over this comment:

You walk into a Kmart, today, - any Kmart, really - and it feels like you've joined a funeral procession. The employees are the saddest, most demoralized little elves. The stores, themselves, feel like they are mostly being used for storage save for the fastest selling products. The former indoor cafes are stacked with merchandise; the old photo studios have been turned into employee breakrooms; you have two or three checkout aisles in use with the rest being used for storage...let them die, already.

Yeah, I sort of "discovered" a few of the other rooms the other day, myself. Not much drama poppin' around my office this week. I didn't see any other rooms talking about nipple hair, so I must be in the right place.

Mark I stayed in many of those fine establishments in the late 80's. The Amana Colonies were a hoot as well.

The only Indiana wines I ever tried were Bloomington's Oliver and Indy's Easley. Not a fan of either. However I've always been a beer kind of guy.

All the way down in St. Louis? Impressive. I'm surprised we could afford that.

We love NW Ontario in St. Louis. We have several conventions a year that come down with outfitters, etc. and I go for the fried Walleye, which is really hard to get here.

Really hard to get.

Or I did but I forgot.

Yeah, the Jumers Company that once owed them are pretty much sticking to the casino business and selling the Bavarian/shlock hotels. The local one is now owned by another company and just called The Lodge instead of Jumers Castle Lodge. It's funny to read the online customer reviews on this fine place. An average of two stars with the words filthy and worn used frequently.

The amount of food they serve at some of their restaurants is almost obscene. The last time we were there they were still bringing food to the table as we were getting up to leave.

I55 in Mississippi is the creepiest piece of the interstate system I've had the pleasure of. I'm on it right now (not driving). There's hardly anyone on it except people driving 100 in old cars and 40 in old trucks loaded with scrap metal.

Memorial Day 1986.....Back when me and my friends loved nothing better than to hear ourselves babble incessantly....I think my eyeglasses could have been a bit larger.

I think inner city Jackson, Mississippi takes the award for stereophonic gunfire. The good Lord knows why I am here.

Well, that wasn't so bad. I was expecting wild colors and weird haircuts that were typical for the 80s.

^ I am guilty of wearing a thrift store blazer since thrift store shopping was big in the 80's. I'm also just amazed at the amount of hair I have then, it seems like I've always been thin up there.

Yeah, I'm too old for this shit. I guess I'm going to walk down to the corner for a little more of a taste.

Weren't most people in 1986 still caught up in the "Miami Vice" blazer over t-shirt look?
