The Sears store in Lincoln Park has been a staple in the neighborhood for years and many have very fond memories not only of this Sears store but the entire complex which included gift shops, a movie theatre, a toy store, and (of course) a Big Boy which was a favorite of James Grandma.

Dad got a new clown for the kitchen which should be fun.

This was taken in Allen Park where the Best Buy used to be (it closed less than a year ago).
