Those stores are very new to the area. Did you live here before you went to
PSU? If not, I guess something you may not know is that Hills (now Ames) and
K-Mart were the dominant discount stores.
Actually, the Target & Wal-Mart in the Robinson Town Center/"the Point?" right
off 22/30 going to the airport isn't too far away (well, not for me anyhow, its
maybe 20 minutes from town when there isn't any traffic). I've never found
anything good there Lego-wise, but I play hockey at the Airport Ice Arena so I
go out that way a decent amount and have time to check sometimes.
