Sudden Power outage at a location that's closing???

So the Commack NY location that announced its closing (on August 5) 2 weeks ago suddenly had a power outage and closed its doors. Says club will be closed through Sunday.

This location is in a mini mall with other stores that were NOT effected by the outage.

I can understand how it may be real, but myself and so many other members have a hard time trusted LAF right now.

Apparently, the lease on this property still has 3 years left. From what I've heard, LAF is keeping the location, yet will be using it as storage. Is this bizarre?

First they announce a closure without giving any reason, they give the employees a one day notice and now a sudden power outage. Why do I not believe them??

North End Grocery, Tacoma WA

N36TH AND HUSON, MY GRANDPS STORE. Anyone remember this place? I stayed there most weekends like 1987 through 1992 off on after that. My grandpa is still kicking. Closed in early 2ks. Kidn in the 80s came for the arcade. Crazy days when he had Street Fighter 2. Just curios if anyone went there or had memories

Old sears location idea

Hear me out: we turn the old sears block into a large city park block with crystal palace in the center. Think of this greenhouse as a place to volunteer growing food for underserved communities at a very low price. Thoughts?

Former Macys in the Ontario Center - Ontario Ohio

Former Macys that closed in 2021. Just a couple weeks ago a Rural King has opened in its place. The escalators have been removed and it appears that the upstairs has either been sealed off and abandoned, or somehow removed? A very interesting mall that has been rebranded from Richland Mall to The Ontario Center. Aside from a Rural King in the mall, the former anchor stores of Lazarus and Sears have been converted into an Avita hospital and urgent care.
