WEEK 25 – Columbus Kmart Closing, Set 2
After spending a fair amount of time over there, now we finally move on from apparel to the next stage of our stour, which takes us into this store’s fixture sales department.
The retail community is full of great, surreal photos of extraordinarily (or maybe it’s just “ordinarily” XD ) empty Kmarts, with all the gondolas removed and only floor scars remaining, and tons of fixtures for sale in other parts of the salesfloor. Unfortunately, though I’ve always wanted to, I’ve never really happened upon a situation where that sort of scene is present for me to photograph.
In the former Memphis ex-Super Kmart, the fixture sales at the time of my visit were all behind the old grocery department curtain. And here at Columbus, while the fixture sale area was admittedly much larger than I’d ever encountered before, the rest of the store was still very full and well-stocked.
The closest I’ve come to what I’m describing is actually at some Fred’s, but Fred’s is not Kmart. And at this point in time, it seems likely that I won’t ever get to step foot in any Kmart again, let alone one with that iconic scene. Oh well.

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)

Interestingly enough it would appear that a new fixture purchase policy is in place for now liquidating stores.

WEEK 14 – Closing the Gap (III)
Not sure what all those shirts were about, seeing as they seem to have been effectively blocked from public access as much as these fixtures. In any case, though, here’s a better look at the latter group of items, this time from a different angle so you can better see just what all has made it over here so far. I say “so far” because, as I’m sure you can imagine, plenty more fixtures would join this bunch as the closure progressed…

Fluorescent Light Fixtures and Bulbs - An untitled work of Art by Dan Flavin (1992) at the Denver Art Museum.
Yesterday (June 30, 2021), was truly the end of an era in northern New Jersey. For the entirety of my life, The Fireplace was a constant fixture. It was a restaurant in Paramus, NJ. It was the local burger joint, but they didn't just do burgers. Not fast food, but not diner food. The decor was very outdated and kitschy, but that was part of the allure. It never changed. Very little about this place had changed since the 1950s. The restaurant had been in existence for 65 years. And, I guess, like most things, everyone just assumed it would always be there....just like it always had.
Until, it wasn't. A few months ago, there were rumors on FB that they were going to go out of business. Another business victim of COVID. But the owners put everyone's fears to rest. And then, late at night on July 29th, they put up a new message saying that their last day would be "tomorrow". Open until 4pm. I was fortunate enough to be off for the summer, so I decided I wanted one last Fireplace meal. And I wanted pictures. I was not alone. I got there and found a HUGE line. The whole community had come out. It was a three hour long line. (And the announcement changed from "closing at 4pm" to "closing at 4pm or when food runs out".) And I endured it.
In the heat. I had had no sleep (because that's just how things go for me), I had eaten nothing all day, and by the time I was almost at the counter, I had low blood sugar, was dehydrated and on the brink of heat exhaustion and fainting. I had sun burn and was pretty miserable. But I held in there. And I'm so glad I did.
It was worth it.
I'm sure many people were and are wondering what the big deal was about. If you were a patron of The Fireplace or grew up with it as a fixture, you understand. But if you didn't, it probably seemed like a lot of ridiculous fanfare for nothing. It's very hard to put into words why it was important. But much the way music can be the backdrop to a person's life, the places we find ourselves, consistently, through all the chapters of our lives provide crucial elements of the stage of our lives. The "home" we all return to. We can look back on those places with memories from every aspect of our lives. Our childhoods, the college years, dates and break-ups, and places to collect our thoughts when life gets really hard. The Fireplace was that place. You really don't realize the importance of some of these places (and people) until they are gone. So THAT is what all the big to-do was about. Because EVERYONE (in my area) had this shared experience with this one place. I realized today that I could sit in that restaurant, look out the window, and look directly at pieces of my life that go way back to when I was just a little girl. It's funny, I never lived in Paramus. I never went to school in Paramus. I never had friends from Paramus. But because both my parents grew up in Paramus and have deep roots there, Paramus has been just as intrinsic and formative a part of my life as New Milford ever was. In fact, oddly, in many ways, it has provided more history for me than New Milford has. So, when I learned that The Fireplace was closing its' doors and I only had this one last chance to capture those memories on "film" and have one last meal there, I decided I really needed to do that. Furthermore, I knew that many people were not as fortunate as I was to have the day off. Or to be nearby enough to go. And I felt like I could give a lot of other people that experience through my pictures and by relating the experience. And I was right. There were many of you who really seemed appreciative that I was there and you could share the experience from my reports and pictures.
So, here's what's funny. I didn't sleep the night before. Maybe an hour, if I was lucky. And I needed to be up early. So, I was exhausted to begin with. I laid down to rest when I was able to, but I couldn't really SLEEP. All I could think about was, "If I fall asleep, I won't wake up in time to go to The Fireplace. I will have missed the whole thing. And I really want those pictures. I'd really like one last meal there." So, I decided to forgo the shut-eye and just go. I had NO IDEA it would be the community event that it was. And I would have fared better if I'd gone earlier. But it must have been meant to be because I pretty much got in at the end of the line of people who were actually served, and was pleasantly surprised to see that I wasn't left with the dregs. It wasn't the meal I had planned, but in some ways, it was better. I do wish I'd been better prepared (sunscreen, water, something to nibble on, and a sun umbrella), and it was by no means easy to put in a full day with no sleep, no food, sunburn and bordering on heat exhaustion, but I'm really glad I did it. It was truly a moment to commune. And in the age of Covid, not to mention our current political climate, that was a 'breath of fresh air" (that's a poor covid joke). And I really wasn't sure it was ok to be amongst all those people. I tend to not congregate with large numbers of people (although it's not a hard-and-fast rule, and I will be making another exception this coming week), this was not something I wanted to let Covid steal from me. And it was so nice for people to come together and just be kind to one another. To share a moment. It happens so infrequently anymore. At the end of it all, it was really a very surreal moment. Anyone who was left in the building was roaming around taking pictures and videos with their phones. Almost zombie-like. People didn't want to leave. Alas, change is a constant, and they say change is good. So, as sad as I am (and others are), I'm warmly happy to have the memories and warm fuzzies.
I will be adding more pictures to this album over time. They will all be public and I invite any and all people to share them. If you want the images, you can go to my FB page, where they are public, as well. From there, you can take them. Enjoy the memories.
The Rookery was built in 1887–1888 by the architectural partnership of Daniel H. Burnham and John Wellborn Root, known as Burnham and Root. In the architectural boom that followed the Great Chicago Fire, architects in what would become known as the Chicago School of commercial architecture competed with each other to create the world's first true skyscrapers. By mixing modern building techniques, such as metal framing, fireproofing, elevators and plate glass, together with traditional ones, such as brick facades and elaborate ornamentation, Burnham and Root sought to create a bold architectural statement. At the same time, they intended their buildings to be commercially successful. This building is one of the few results of their partnership that is still standing.
Beginning in the early 20th century, the building underwent three major renovations. In the first, from 1905 to 1907, Frank Lloyd Wright was retained to remake the interior spaces. In keeping with contemporary tastes, Wright's design covered Root's elaborate wrought iron finishes with white carved Carrara marble surfaces. Nearing the peak of his fame, Wright's changes brought enhanced status to the building, making the Rookery one of the most sought after buildings in all of Chicago. Some of Wright's other changes included incorporating simplified ironwork and adding planters as well as light fixtures.

Dating from the Victorian themed makeover several decades ago, this lovely fixture and shades fit right in although this likely dates from the early 1900's rather than the 1870's. I'd still be Ok with it.
