Note from the editor

 
Not much remains of Sears. It took more than a century to build the Sears empire and a couple of decades to mostly disassemble it.

Both of those stories have been told at length. On the latest episode of our podcast The Backroom, my colleague Daphne Howland and I take a look at the current state of both the remaining Sears stores and the old Sears Holdings corporation, which exists mostly as a legal entity as its years-old bankruptcy case has wound on.

As for the stores, I took a trip earlier in the summer to one of the last Sears department stores in existence. What I saw speaks to the past and present of Sears and the malls that house its stores.

Give it a listen if you have some time.
