DH and I drove to Nanaimo to visit with Mom on Saturday. We thought we'd have a look at the new Target store that had recently opened. They had some nice greeting cards but they were super expensive at $7.00 to $9.00 each. In the ladies wear the biggest size I could find was an XL and although there were racks and racks of summer dresses, they were all the same basic style; irregular hems and sleeveless. Also, the material used is the cheapest looking fabric I have ever experienced. Home furnishings were dull and unimaginative. The grocery shelves were half empty. Last but not least is there was NO CRAFT DEPARTMENT! We should have realized Target has gone over like a lead balloon. As Mom said, "It was like a bowling ally in there." You could roll a ball down any aisle and not hit a living soul. If all the Canadian Target stores are like Nanaimo's I don't expect they will be in this country for very long. Thank goodness we still have Walmart. *GASP* Did I just say that?
