That is terrific news, TC Talks.
Summit Place has been a despotic eyesore for years.

It literally killed Pontiac. The combination of "the Mall" and Wide Track Blvd., killed the city. The original mall; The Pontiac Mall, was a microcosm of Pontiac, with all of the major shops and retailers present. There was no longer a good reason to drive the city.
A person could buy a baby grand piano, and a shot gun all in the same trip.

Florida man who reportedly bought an $8 million island arrested for alleged Kmart theft
A Florida man who reportedly bought an $8 million island a week ago was arrested over the weekend after he allegedly conned Kmart for $300 in household items, police say.
Andrew Lippi, 59, was arrested Saturday on a felony grand theft charge after he allegedly purchased items like coffeemakers and lightbulbs and later returned them to the Kmart with different items in their original packaging.
Lippi, who owns a house used during a season of MTV's "Real World," bought Thompson Island off Key West last week for $8 million, the Miami Herald and Local 10 News reported.
The island was the longtime home of developer and philanthropist Edward B. Knight, the outlets reported.
According to a report from the Key West Police Department, Lippi purchased and received a refund on $300.59 worth of items over the course of several days and trips to the Kmart in Key West, just miles from the "Real World" house he purchased.
A loss prevention officer told police Lippi purchased then immediately returned several items between March 30 and April 4, replacing the original item in the box with something else, said the police report. During one incident, the officer claimed Lippi purchased a Keurig coffee machine on March 30. The next day, according to the report, Lippi returned the machine, but replaced it with a basketball.
When asked about the Keurig, Lippi told police the clerk should have known there was no coffee machine inside by the weight of the box, said the report.
In a separate incident, the loss prevention officer said Lippi returned recently-purchased lightbulbs, replacing them with a different brand of bulbs, said the police report. He also purchased a bed skirt, then returned it for a refund with a pillow case inside the packaging, said the report.
In an interview with the Miami Herald, Lippi denied the charges. According to the Herald, when pressed about the theft, Lippi said it was "very complicated and I’d rather not get into it."
Lippi faces arraignment on April 18, said the Monroe County Sheriff's Office.

That Lippi guy looks like a total creeper! He's clearly an eccentric nutbag. Would love to know how he made his fortune.
Why do I have a feeling it involves some sort of disgusting activity?

Kenneth City FL. I believe it's their last store in the state. Every year when we go back I expect it to be gone. But it keeps hanging on. Looks like they haven't done any updating since 1960.
From the looks of it that store won't have to close. It'll just fall down eventually.

It could just charge admission and become a museum.

Spam is extremely popular in Guam so I hear. It’s the busiest Kmart, so that makes sense. The fake meat is also big in Hawaii.

Will WLS in Chicago consider changing its call letters since Sears is going under? WLS = World's Largest Store (Sears). I doubt it.

Perfect location. Guam is a fairly small island. Not like there's anywhere else to go.

Spam has a long shelf life, so they don't have to worry about inventory going bad. The cans are probably from 1942.
