There's actually a Garland, WY https://www.google.com/maps/place/Garland,+WY+82435,+USA/@44.7789773,-108.6607987,15z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x53495063296c5df1:0x94e91f9fde6c7bc3!8m2!3d44.7796741!4d-108.6604043!16zL20vMDExZzdr?entry=ttu (There's no Target there unlike the same IP edited) There's no Clear Shore Lakes in Ohio (only in Texas)
: Yep there is! The user didn't seem to be making up cities/states in every instance, it was more that they were just changing the state and/or city to something that is obviously false in that [insert name] wasn't located at [insert wrong address/city/state]. I believe Wyoming is up to three Targets now, last I checked (Casper, Cheyenne, and Jackson). Jackson WY's is a former Kmart. Cheyenne's is original/built for Target (I even found photos from about the time it was built), and I believe Casper's is also built original as a Target.--[[User:TheOptopolis|TheOptopolis]] ([[User talk:TheOptopolis|talk]]) 00:29, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
== Photos ==
How did you find August 1991 photos of Kmart 7424 and 4413?
: Honestly, I just went and did the research. In this case, I had to dig through negatives to find them; fortunately, they were dated. The fact that the photographer snapped photos of all three Kmarts at the same time, I suspect either A) they wanted to do an article, or B) they did an article that I simply haven't found yet. Not plugging here, just simply mentioning this--I should have a video dropping very soon where one can see many of the sources that I saw, including the August photos of the old two Kmarts where the signage had already been taken down.--[[User:TheOptopolis|TheOptopolis]] ([[User talk:TheOptopolis|talk]]) 00:36, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
== First Target in Wyoming ==
Target did not open in 1969 in Wyoming, unlike the IP edits stated; they did open in Colorado back in 1966, but they did not open a Wyoming location until 1982, then again in 1985, then again just last year. Also, the Kmart spreadsheet does not list the square footage of 7424 but still lists the closing date as 1992, despite August 1991 photos already being found showing this location and 4413 closed.
: So Imma mention Kmart first. Reschultzed probably hasn't updated the spreadsheet. I just mentioned this information to Reschultzed.
: I clearly must have missed something regarding Target, as I honestly have no idea where said-user stated such thing (but then I haven't been touching the Target scene of Bluepages too much yet). As far as I understand, Casper was the first, followed by Cheyenne then Jackson. Casper's Eastridge Mall (which includes the Target) was built at the turn of the 80s. I can't personally confirm right this minute if Casper's Target opened in 1982, but certainly sounds believable to me given the circumstances of that mall. Hmm I'm now intrigued to see if I can find physical evidence of opening date... No promises, but I may have to make that a future research project for me to look into at some point.--[[User:TheOptopolis|TheOptopolis]] ([[User talk:TheOptopolis|talk]]) 19:16, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
== When adding a new chain to the tables... ==
When adding a new chain to the tables, make sure you actually add the locations to that chain instead of leaving it blank please
: Tag2292, do you mean having the tables like [[Bluepages:Tables/Old Chicago]] display the locations which I've added? I'm assuming so? Right now, it looks like Old Chicago is showing the location that I added... Oh, wait, [[Bluepages:Tables/Jersey Mike's Subs]] wasn't showing the locations I've added, same with [[Bluepages:Tables/Batteries Plus]]-both are fixed. If a location (or several) aren't appearing, it's likely because the page cache needs refreshed, and one can do that by clicking the "more" drop down by the search bar, then Refresh. I usually try to do that to any table when I add a new location belonging to the table, but I obviously forgot in these two instances so my apologies. On a side note and as Reschultzed shared on his talk page, if a table has more than 500 items, the feature will only go so far/may not show all the locations. I think I answered your comment, but if not, let me know/please do clarify further.--[[User:TheOptopolis|TheOptopolis]] ([[User talk:TheOptopolis|talk]]) 22:13, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
== Walmart spreadsheet ==
I assume you know about the Walmart spreadsheet that Reschultzed created already?: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MY89q9pnrS-rB8t6Df4TuWZhdtRMkdTnYVbjZnDMpjQ/edit
Because I’m sure he’ll need your help for the areas you’re more knowledgeable about than me. I mainly focus on stuff in Texas so it’s hard for me to look into stuff from other states sometimes
: Tag2292, I believe I indirectly knew about it? I'll be honest, I haven't studied into Walmart quite as much as some of the other chains I've been keeping up on in recent years, but I probably stumbled upon his spreadsheet at some point... Yeah, must have seen it at some point since it's linked in existing store pages that include my area Walmarts, I've added it to my main page link list. Yeah, I totally understand ya on that, probably would help that I am familiar with my area too. So far from what I have seen of Bluepages articles on Walmart in my area, I haven't noticed any holes yet, but I'll keep an eye out for holes where maybe he or others may have missed info.--[[User:TheOptopolis|TheOptopolis]] ([[User talk:TheOptopolis|talk]]) 00:45, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
== Toys "R" Us spreadsheet ==
Here is a Toys "R" Us spreadsheet made not by Reschultzed, It has any stores owned by TRU (Toys "R" Us, Babies "R" Us, Kids "R" Us, Imaginarium).
It claims the Babies R Us in Aurora, CO in Orchard road opened in 2002 and closed in 2013 and relocated. Is it true or not? You can contact the creator either on their Discord server linked in the spreadsheet or comment on the spreadsheet.

: I can tell you BRU on East Orchard Road couldn't have opened in 2002 as it wasn't constructed yet... Denver Public library specifically notes in the description of two photos[https://digital.denverlibrary.org/nodes/view/720498?keywords=Jennifer+Dunne&highlights=WyJKZW5uaWZlciIsIkR1bm5lIl0%3D (1)][https://digital.denverlibrary.org/nodes/view/724287?keywords=Jennifer+Dunne&highlights=WyJKZW5uaWZlciIsIkR1bm5lIl0%3D&lsk=36da1780611cd0252539a53a676ba69f (2)] that it was part of the phase 2 of the Southlands shopping center (the 2nd phase phase would've opened around the time of these phtoos though I'm not currently certain if this BRU store opened the same day those photos were taken.) As for closure, the best I've been able to find is between 2012 and 2015... who knows if it closed in 2013, I haven't found coverage to confirm that. I have no idea if it relocated, but if it did, I don't know to where it would have moved.--[[User:TheOptopolis|TheOptopolis]] ([[User talk:TheOptopolis|talk]]) 20:01, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
