Wow, now I know what inspired one of Sarah Lynn's outfits on Bojack Horseman.

Horses were cheap and efficient long after cars and trucks were available.

What killed them in Canada was that not only did they not have a strong clothing section that the US stores were apparently known for their logistics and ordering system was so bad that they would constantly run out of basic items. And I'm not like talking you go and they don't have the exact brand of kitty litter you'd usually but there is zero kitty litter in the entire store. Apply that to almost anything in the store, you couldn't really count on them to have what you needed. I have never seen a large chain run out of things on such a constant basis as Target in Canada did, it was bizarre.
After that happened a few times with several different things over the course of a few months I just stopped going there, I would assume other people had similar experiences. I was not surprised in the least when they ended up closing.

Man, what was the deal with 1969? The number of people who gave birth much less than 9 months after the wedding was astonishing. :)

Yes, it was also very nice of him to make sure so many brand names were turned towards the camera and not a single item is disturbed in the display at the checkout either. And of course no one is looking at the guy with a camera standing on top of ladder or something. It's almost like it was staged...

Funnily enough she’s five months pregnant in that picture

The title gave me a start, no kidding. For half a second I had to wonder if my niece or nephew was positing an old family pic. See, my parents were married in December 1969, and Mom wore a dress similar to that. Mom has dark hair and was 7 months pregnant, though.

Old Hoss threw 678 and two thirds innings for the 1884 Providence Grays which is genuinely unfathomable. Apparently he couldn’t even comb his hair in the morning that year.

Keaton was born in Kansas while his parents were on a vaudeville circuit. He never lived in Kansas
