It will be completely gone soon

A few months ago we had two Circuit City stores in the Tysons Corner area. One by the Mall, Tysons Corner Center, near La Madeline. The other was farther down route 7 to the west. It sat next to Starbucks and Ethan Allen. Circuit City tried to get itself in a better place, and decided to close a bunch of stores across the country. We were to lose one store. So it began. There were men on street corners every day holding Signs. First it was 20% off, then 30, next 40. I think it finally got to somewhere around 60% off before everything was gone. They were even selling fixtures. That made me curious. I don't know why, but it did. Well I thought that was that.
I was wrong.
Circuit City wasn't able to right the sinking ship. They couldn't get in better shape, and they couldn't find a buyer to save them. Now there will be no more Circuit Citys anywhere. I saw in the news that it was over. And that day I saw the people with the signs near the store on route 7 that they'd left open. It's amazing how quick thos people appear with their signs. This will be one of the 567 (I believe that's the right number) of stores that will now shut their doors.
It just goes to show that although we are insulated, and certainly much better off that most of the country, we are not unaffected.
Goodbye Circuit City, and good luck to all who worked there.
