When WalMart comes to town, many mom &#038; pop stores end up closing their doors. This week it was announced that one such store in my home town of Barstow has met its demise. Growing up in a small town meant that store&#8217;s weren&#8217;t known by what they sold, but by the proprieters. We didn&#8217;t go to the bike shop, we went to Jay&#8217;s. We didn&#8217;t go to the Hardware store, we went to H &#038; E. Well, Home Depot came to town and now H &#038; E is closing their doors after 55 years. I remember many a trip with my dad to get something for a home repair project and shouting, &#8220;We are going to H &#038; E&#8221; as we closed the door and headed for the truck.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.desertdispatch.com\/common\/printer\/view.php?db=desertdispatch&#038;id=726\"> <\/p>\n<p>Read the article on its closing from the local newspaper.<\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pld-like-dislike-wrap pld-template-4\">\r\n    <div class=\"pld-like-wrap  pld-common-wrap\">\r\n    <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\" class=\"pld-like-trigger pld-like-dislike-trigger  \" title=\"\" data-post-id=\"201\" data-trigger-type=\"like\" data-restriction=\"cookie\" data-already-liked=\"0\">\r\n                        <i class=\"far fa-smile\"><\/i>\r\n                    <\/a>\r\n    <span class=\"pld-like-count-wrap pld-count-wrap\">    <\/span>\r\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have always enjoyed going to Big Box stores, but their spread has had an undeniable effect on small town businesses.
