End of an era for me.. for decades, Fry's has served as a regular weekend waypoint jaunt, in between stocking up on food and getting the laundry done.

I can't count the number of times I'd said to myself, over the decades "just gonna go see whats new at Fry's", and then .. a few months later, those gadget/widget/grommets I bought on an impulse while idling in the aisles turned out to be very, very fruitful for some project or another...

We definitely have a weird future ahead of us, where browsing aisles and getting exposed to weird stuff is no longer a physical event.

I don't think I will feel the same level of nostalgia for Amazon, when it closes some time in the next billion years ..
