Re “When the toy aisles disappear, it’s the kids who miss out’’ (Letters, March 20): I find it baffling that a reader can lament the loss of “warm memories’’ of shopping at Toys ‘R’ Us as well as the need to revisit “the few wonderful independent toy stores that still exist’’ in order to find the fun atmosphere she now misses.

Before Toys ‘R’ Us was done in by online sales, independent toy stores were done in by Toys ‘R’ Us. Maybe the real lesson for her grandchildren is that what goes around comes around.
