The employees always referred to it as KIH.
I had to look that up {Kmart International Headquarters} and found this interesting story: Polyester Palace.
In one of my MBA courses, we had to a paper where we looked at various business decisions made by companies and evaluate whether they worked or not. I picked KMart. The paper practically wrote itself, because there was no need to do the evaluation phase. Literally every decision made by that company for the final 20 years was the wrong one.
We actually miss KMart in Canada more than you guys since we don't have Target or Meijer as a Walmart alternative. The stores were certainly a disaster the last 10 years though. I actually miss Kresge's more. Maybe somebody will put a lunch counter with tomato soup and grilled cheese in the dollar store.In one of my MBA courses, we had to a paper where we looked at various business decisions made by companies and evaluate whether they worked or not.

Great video MichaelAnthony, thanks for sharing!
I still miss Kresge
I hope that all of the lead, asbestos and other toxins in the debris is properly managed and disposed of.
I assume those misters are to at least keep the dust down but yes, that alone isn't enough. I noticed the surrounding landscape was being maintained so hopefully someone responsible is in charge.
