Longtime Sears Auto Center Loses Gas



The old Sears Auto Center at Wilton and Santa Monica -- so old that it still says "Sears, Roebuck and Co." on the building -- is shutting down for good on August 14. At least, that's what it says on the fence in front.

The auto center is located down the block from the East Hollywood stand-alone Sears, which City Council president Eric Garcetti says is the best selling Sears per square foot in the country. (Considering the lack of any other chain clothing or department stores around there, I believe it).

I'm hoping someone saves that "Sears, Roebuck and Co." sign. Meanwhile, it doesn't sound like many people will be breaking out tears for the auto center, which doesn't have a lot of fans.
