Interesting read...

 

damn, this blows!

 

outside of a few of those....less imported junk is good imo. Good riddance if they all go down.

 

Most of those I can see closing in the future but I have to disagree with GAP and Starbucks. I dont see those two going anywhere.

 

damn no more Lane Bryant? where am i gonna get my big girl clothes now?? TORRID!?!?

 

lane bryant is for fat chicks
i could do without eddie bauer, and starbucks
i shop at pac sun, and my wife shops at the gap
but please lord don't take ma timbalands

i think i know why starbucks is on the list, if they didn't have a starbucks on top of a starbucks the'd be ok, hooters isn't closing is it?

 

Pep Boys sells crap but damn they've been around forever. I hope Manny, Moe and Jack can still receive unemployment benefits.

 

Lane Bryant is in jeopardy? Where the hell am I gonna go for easy action?

 

Starbucks isn't going to go bankrupt, just some serious downsizing because the ex-ceo fuxxord everything up by expanding way too fast. (used to be a starbucks zealot =/)

 

the avenue plus, i asked a chubby chaser
