When I still lived in California in San Jose or in the East Bay [across the bay from San Francisco] I used to visit my old home town periodically and try to meet with old friends. In those days they had a rodeo and parade every summer but both had been discontinued the last few times I visited...

Yes, but later when they were trying to compete against Walmart's Super Centers, K-Mart was building Super K's. In Oklahoma K-Mart is just about gone except in Oklahoma City and probably Tulsa. Our town, a university town has no K-Mart but we have two Walmart Supercenters and one Neighborhood...

Yes, I remember both of those in California as well as Lucky's and Piggly Wigglys and a multitude of others. I suspect a lot of the others were driven out of business when Walmart developed their supercenter with massive grocery stores. In Oklahoma many small town groceries store went out of...

There were lots of them in California when I lived there. For my two years in Wyoming [1985-1987], I never saw one, but when I moved to Oklahoma both K-Mart and Walmart were there.

Our little town had no movie theater and no dime store [also called five and ten]. On Saturdays sometime my brother and I would be allowed to ride the Greyhound bus the 8 miles to the closest town to go to the single movie theater there. A larger town 15 miles away had four movie theaters, but...

Where we lived we always received the Sear catalogues and sometimes the JC Penny's catalogue for ordering things. It was mail order or drive to the city to shop. There were no local clothing stores except for a small one catering to farmers and ranchers. Very little in the way of women's clothes...

I remember not long after moving to Oklahoma the only local Walmart upgraded to a the super Walmart or whatever they called. The only K-Mart in order to compete upgraded to a Super K-Mart. Eventually K-Mart lost the battle and closed their local store.

As long as you comfortable in that way then that is between you and God. As you see my own beliefs differ a bit. Give God the glory!

I grew up in tiny town Calif. population 1,000. We had one small grocery store, a little bakery which stocked a few groceries and a meat market which sold only fresh meat. My mother would drive 8 miles to a town on 5,000 or 15 miles to a town of 10,000 to shop at a larger store for a bigger...

Does anyone here remember what it was like before Walmart? I lived in California when I first heard of Walmart, but there was not a single Walmart store that I knew about in California itself. We had K-Mart we kind of watched from the distance as with the passage of time the demise of K-Mart...

@Nancy I'll add another happy birthday wish to you here as well!

No wishes really other than what others have expressed regarding an end to virus troubles...Any others would be in fun but I would like to share this old nursery rhyme I learned almost before memory. It seems like I have always known it...I have shared it on this forum before: "If wishes were...

When my wife and I came to the Lord in 1976, there were two women evangelists holding revival services daily in that assembly. We both repented during those services and my wife received the baptism of the Holy Ghost. I had a blockage, that hindered me for another 6 weeks. One of those dear...

@My Dreams Praying that God keep His hand on you as you work for Him!

Ha, I started touch typing on a manual typewriter a great many years ago. I will disqualify myself.
