Kmart especially pioneered now common place shopping aspects and became a massive brand which is known around the world. With well over 2,000 stores across America, there was no stopping this mega retailer from their billions of dollars worth of sales. That was until a series of poor decisions and bad timing rather quickly brought down the goliath brand. Today almost all of those stores are closed and most abandoned, with little business from the company still being done. Join me as I look into how Kmart failed and who's to blame.

I know this past 365 days have been tough for a lot of people but I am optimistic about 2021. This video was a ton of work for me but I hope it, along with all of my other work can provide you with some enjoyment and fascination. Next year there's so much more where this came from including the release of my documentary Closed For Storm!

Today I'm boarding one of the most iconic ships of all time. Sitting idol and powerless in Philadelphia, the SS United States was once a symbol of pride for her country. A massive vessel that shattered records and even to this day holds the record for the fastest Atlantic ship crossing. Since she was taken out of service in the 1960's, she has passed through a series of owners while awaiting her rebirth All while her paint peels and her future uncertain. I'm taking a rare look inside this infamous ship to discover what remains, thoughtfully reminiscing about the past and looking to the future. I also got to sit down with Susan Gibbs, the person at the forefront of the effort to save her. A special thanks to the SS United States Conservancy for making this video possible.
