Our Lufkin K-Mart will be one of hundreds closing this spring. I went today to check out the liquidation sale, and the place was packed. I know the pictures don't really show a lot of people, but I was trying not to get them in the shots. There were a lot of people there, like vultures trying to get to the deals. I used to go to that K-Mart a lot.  I liked it because no one was there, so I guess I should have seen it coming. If there were this many people shopping there all along, I don't think it would be on the chopping block.

Back before the opening and closing of the Angelina Mall that was on the site, basically they just took out the halls and made it separate stores, my Dad was a manager at Woolco back in the 70's. The story actually plays into my life, quite a bit, as it might be the only reason I lived here instead of staying in Houston.

Later Woolco became a K-Mart, and this was back in the 80's. This store has been there a long time, even closing once or twice as I recall for remodeling. But now you can see all the shelves getting stripped bare.

I took some pictures of the sales they were having, actually found some pretty good deals, I think.
