Fremont, CA contains a shopping center I like to call "Furniture Hell." The shops in this center are all zombies, each and every one converted to retailers for imported Chinese furniture. All of them claim to be near-death, going out of business, and yet live on for years. Their banners reach out at you, groaning "SAAAALE." The most uncanny of the stores, what I like to think of as the Zombie Leader, calls itself the "Furniture Depot," and as you may have guessed is built in the corpse of a Home Depot. The new residents only fill a small part of the cavernous building. The disused portion has all of its aisles removed and its lights turned off, and so it stretches backwards seemingly forever, disappearing into the darkness. Home Depots are huge.
