Default Goodbye Circuit City
Well, i called my dad today when i got home from school since still at his job at Best Buy, and he told me that CC was closing its doors... for good! Check out these two sites for more:

In my mind, I always thought CC was either going to close, or like merge with Best Buy.

Oh well.
My friend's gonna be ****ed.
He was planning on going to Circuit City and getting some sound equipment for his car, and get it installed there, but they aren't doing anymore installations starting tomorrow.

Meh, no too good sales.
Nothing too cheap, the lowest they go is the cost from the manufacture.
So don't expect to get some dirt cheap stuff, it will be at most like 20% off the normal price.

Don't worry about your kid's futures. Recessions happen all of the time, it'll be overwith in a short while.
