re: Kmart is the closest thing to a time machine back to the 1980's

Kmart has become a very depressing display of survival of the fittest. It could not keep up with Walmart and now it is struggling just to stay alive. The one in Elmwood (New Orleans Area) is just gloomy, depressing, and pathetic. One time I went in there to find something and they took those huge plastic containers and filled up 4 rows of shelves with them (instead of stacking them inside each other) just to not have empty shelves.
