I just want to write this to express my surprise at what I saw today in Twin Falls at the recently closed Hastings location.

Hastings officially closed it's doors a few days ago but today was the first day I was able to drive by and it is eerie how desolate the parking lot looks without the store's traffic. I never went inside the Hastings store so I wasn't surprised that they were going out of business. But the parking lot was always full. I guess I assumed it was traffic from all the other stores. The pictures above proves me wrong.

I now see that Hastings was a big deal to many in Twin Falls, and it is pretty sad now to see such a big building and parking area vacant.
