| Typical mall Sears in happier times. Forgot where exactly, however. |
Sears once ruled the retail landscape, but had also taken a downturn thanks to Walmart and amazon in that order. They had several locations in CNY and beyond that are all but gone. Few if any are left. Vacant unless otherwise indicated. The last three are the Capital Region since I grew up going there, and Grandma, may she rest in peace brought us there, and had the catalogue, as well along with the other place. I could throw in the rest of the state, but I don't want to get carried away, so I'll stick to these now.
