The new Belk at Colonial Pinnacle (near Turkey Creek) has a much better selection, better pricing, and actually carries stuff in my size -- even though the Oak Ridge store has to be double the square footage. Only problem is that I really, really like to keep my tax dollars here, so I only look. If I had to, I guess I could buy it in Knoxville, return it in Oak Ridge, then buy it again. That's how I got my microwave, since the Sears in OR didn't carry the model I wanted. Yup, betting between the demise of the sun and the completion of Arnsdorff's project, the sun wins.
