Circuit City Closes - 34,000 employees jobless

I hate to read this because Circuit City was Richmond based.

The Richmond-based consumer electronics retailer’s 567 U.S.
stores shut down today.
For the last month and a half, a group of four liquidators have
conducted going-out-of-business sales.

In its wake Circuit City will leave more than 18 million square
feet of vacant space in a faltering real estate market. More than
34,000 employees will be jobless. LINK

Thousands hitting the unemployment lines...Democrats in charge since 2007...Hope and Change...Hope and Change. Maybe they can come down and build Rick Boucher's horse trails.
