There used to be a Kmart on John Marr Drive. It's now the site of The Block, which includes a joint that sells Korean tacos. No, I don't know what a Korean taco is. An extremely overpriced thrift store is just north of The Block. I've bought things there, but I don't go there anymore unless it's a discount day.
