Wow -- a whole decade has passed since I started this blog! It's weird how ten years can feel both like a very long time, and like no time at all. In fact, as I sit here writing this, I'm actually wearing a shirt that I bought at RadioShack (of all places!) back in 2015, not long at all before The Mid-South Retail Blog began. RadioShack has all but gone by the wayside these days, but while my blog may have diminished in activity, it's at least still kicking. Thanks, as always, to all of you loyal readers out there, as well as the one-time commenters, and everyone in-between. I have lots more great content that I hope to get back into sharing over the next few months.
Here's a recap of last year's posts:

As of this writing, the blog sits at 327,454 pageviews, and I'm grateful for each one. (Many of them are probably my own, but still!) We've also garnered more than 1,300 comments over 150+ posts. I stopped sharing my most popular posts a few years ago since there wasn't much change on that front, but it feels like 10 years is a good time to revisit that statistic, especially from the standpoint of seeing what has resonated the most over the decade. Here's the rundown:

A number of those posts are in-depth ones that I enjoyed researching and writing, and it makes me happy to see that they are continuing to find audiences in the years since they were published. The Danver's post in particular gets frequent interaction in the comments section, and of course the Seessel's endeavor was one of my very first big and exciting projects for the blog. (And I need to go back and update that Kroger list sometime!) Here's to hoping that more folks will continue to discover previous posts connecting with their interests over time, and I look forward to continuing to share more with y'all in the future! Remember that you can always hit me up anytime in the comments or by email at midsouthretailblog [at] gmail [dot] com, and sincere thanks, again, for 10 great years.
Until next time, have fun exploring the retail world wherever you are :)
