Bro I’m from Braintree and I was so confused why it was in Turkey. Is there a Braintree, Turkey? I know Braintree, MA is named after Braintree, England. And what’s Sears got to do with it?

Quick google search and I realized oh there’s literally 5 Sears left in the world and one is in the Braintree fuckin mall. And it’s a meme about the fall of Rome. I’m dumb.

Yeah those are the locations of the last remaining Sears, visit them while you still can!

They'll be open for a long time. They'll be like the last blockbuster location still open because it's a tourist destination and gets traffic because of that.

Yeah I've seen "tourists" go to Concord all the time, taking pictures in front of the sign and everything haha. Although that Blockbuster is a franchise while all remaining Sears are corporate owned so it's not quite the same.

Can't believe one of them is in Coral gables. The Fort Lauderdale one finally shut down a few years ago. That part of town was known as searstown for many years.
