But their clothing selection starting going downhill about 15 years or so ago. As time went on, I wasn't finding much there that I liked, and it got worse and worse after the Kmart merger. I still bought shoes there, but i pretty much gave up on their clothes. Then the store here in town closed, and that was that for me.
