Project Insomnia

Project Insomnia is many things, but in this context it is simply a "braindump" of whatever I happen to be thinking/reading/watching/doing at the moment. Parental guidance suggested.

From Expo to Mega-Depot

Our local Expo Design Center will be closing soon:
Home Depot will shut down two of its high-end design stores, in Concord and East Palo Alto, and replace them with two more Home Depots.

Expo Design Center, which caters to a wealthier customer base than Home Depot, sells high-end fixtures to people mainly looking to remodel their kitchens and bathrooms.

The problem with Expo, IMO, is that it's a very elaborate showroom filled with very expensive fixtures, but no real-world solutions. We go to look at how we would want to do a kitchen or bathroom or floor, and then consider how we can do it for one-tenth the price--seriously, Expo prices are beyond "pricey" and into "excessive".

The EPA location shares a giant building with the neighboring Home Depot, so the company plans to make an even larger HD store out of the combined space. Should be interesting.
