Sorry to hear that...I grew up without all those. We had to drive 75 miles to hit a Target or JC Penny's...I think we had to go to South Dakota for Sears if I remember correctly. Macy's, Kohl's, Nordstrom were non-existent and I've never even HEARD of Lord and Taylor. I was in high school before we got a Walmart. But I think it's different when you aren't used to having it there...you don't really know what you are missing and then when you make the big pilgrimage to a "city" (like Wyoming has anything close to what one would call a city) it was a huge adventure and seemed amazing. I can imagine that it's really hard when you are used to just being able to make a run to whatever store and then suddenly it's gone. I certainly miss one-stop shopping!! And being able to order Rootbeer in a restaurant. Hopefully you can find alternatives that work for you!Sadly, this is probably true. The difference is, you guys have a dozen other department store chains - JC Penney, Macy’s, Lord & Taylor, Kohl’s, Tar-jay, Nordstrom ....
While ones and twos of those stores are slowly drifting into Toronto, most regular city malls will now be totally without a large anchor department store.
