meghan9436It came to my attention when I went downtown today to get some of my personal affairs sorted, that Loft Sakae will be closing. This is Nagoya's biggest Loft location, spanning five floors. I made an unexpected, and unplanned video, and I made a post about it on Twitter here.
For those of you local to Nagoya, or if you will be passing through the area, you have between now and June 30th to get the closing sale deals, and your final memories in. It sucks that this is happening, but it's not unexpected. The store had been scaling down their selections for quite some time. They even gutted their art section, much to my dismay.
All is not lost though! Another Loft location opened in the NOVA building in downtown Sakae. It has a modest three floors, and it is within walking distance of the original Loft location. At the time of its opening, it struck me as weird to have another location so close to the main one. It's a lot like the trope about how there always seems to be a Starbucks across the street from one another. But, now we know why.
Even as the world changes around us, we can still hang on to those memories forever. I can't stress enough to document everything! Just like the world around us, our memories are fleeting too. By maintaining records, we can always refresh our memories, and pass them on to the next generation.
