Writer's Block: Shops Gone By

[fidelitas]

[Error: unknown template qotd]McAlpin's.  The nearest store to me was taken over by Dillard's which is lame.  McAlpin's at least had SALES, unlike Dillard's which, if you're lucky, will have one or two a year.  Or if they have more, they're like 2% off.  McAlpin's also had cute stuff, where as Dillard's sells boring clothes most of the time and stuff no one really needs or wants. Lame Lame Lame.

I can remember going to McAlpin's with family for school shopping and getting excited.  Going shopping at Dillard's?  No excitement.  Just boredom.

Plus, McAlpin's is a lot more fun to say.  It's bouncy and energetic.  Dillard's is...I've used "lame" too much in this post, so let's go with..."lethargic."  Yeah, I like that one.

A few years ago, I found a newspaper of my dads from 1982 with a McAlpin’s ad:

The only decent Dillards I've ever been in was this three story one that had a huge plus size section, and that made me happy.

Oh man, that is an awesome link! I miss McAlpin's, I realy do.

I have actually found a few things at Dillard's, but only because I wasn't paying, haha. Sometimes it's still good to be a broke college student.

Also, I haven't seen you around these parts, so welcome to the abode! I hope you enjoy your stay and you are more than welcome to stop by any time!
