I have mixed feelings about the Bay/Zellars/Target thing. I love the Bay, and from what I've seen of Target (and Super Target - I went to one in Cedar Rapids, Iowa) it's not the same level. But I like Target. It's better than Walmart, but won't have the charm Zellars. Why couldn't they have bought out Giant Tiger? I hate that store.
I'm not a fan of the Target - Hudson Bay Company thing either... come on HBC is the oldest operating company in the world, and Canadian... so why couldn't it stay that way? Oh well all the old stores like Simpsons or Eatons are being undercut by the box stores.... I'm worried that if the Target thing goes through the Bay will become a slightly classier WalMart.

Okay back to the thread... their not exactly stores, but I miss the old road-stops along Hwy.69 when it was a two lane highway... combination greasy-spoon, ice cream parlor, craft store, information booth, and tourist store... oh well there's only 1 or 2 left (and those will also be gone soon).

Millers Outpost still exists, and Thriftys just turned in to Rite Aid. I'm not sure Walden's book store cuz i think i saw one of those like a year ago.

I miss bobs big boy resturant, and White castle burgers. I havnt seen one of these to in SoCal in so long.

Its funny how a store called Track auto became cheif auto and is now auto zone. And all the Home Bases turned into Home depots.

And another store that vannished is Boys Market.
