Hmmm
Sears, Kmart, Bargain City, Lasalles, Minnestota Fabrics, Hancock Fabrics, Woolworth's, Penny's, the Singer store, all within 20 minutes, and I lived out in the country (a half mile from where I live now)
When I first started buying fabric, of course there was Joann's, but it was in the new mall. Then Joann's moved to a shoppong center, but that was ok, to get across the highway, you just stopped, and went across when it was ok, we made it to Joann's. Then, someone got this great idea to makee it so we could no longer get across the highway, so to get to Joann's we had to take about a 15 minute more trip around.
Finally they figured out that this could just not be, so they built the road over the highway, straight to the shopping center. Joann's was still there, in fact, still is.
The only places within 20 munitues is now Joann's and Walmart
