Pleasant Family Shopping

Even now, I have very distinct memories of stores like K-Mart, Bradlees and Caldor. None of them are Technicolor-stained or filled will polyester clothes, but something about them must have made a distinct impression on me during childhood. After spending some time looking at the pictures provided by the photo blog Pleasant Family Shopping, I cannot help but marvel at what has been assembled at the site.

    So does K-Mart not exist any more in the US?

    It remains a large part of the retail landscape here. The logo is much the same and I think even some of the uniforms on the checkout chicks are the same.

    Yeah, they're still around but I don't think they're they cultural mecca I seem to recall as a child. Wal-Mart seems to have taken over – at least here in NJ. I don't know if there were more at one point but they're aren't very many in my area.
