Mr. Keckler's Commentary on Retail Establishments

I thoroughly enjoyed this fine commentary by William Keckler entitled, Crate and Barrel . . ., so I decided to share it with my readers as well. I especially enjoy his comments on K-Mart and Sears as my sister and I have always had a long running joke that the two stores have a "dirty" ambiance, kind of like CBS. I'm convinced it has to do with lighting for the most part. It's funny that they are now owned by the same company. I need to find out if CBS is part of the mix as well. Enjoy!
