More small business closing

Video Maniacs is closing. I'll be honest I just hate it when I am forced to buy anything and everything from a chain store. Yes, I still have some choices, but not when it comes to renting a video. I am now forced to go to Blockbuster or Netflix. I have nothing against Blockbuster or Netflix, they both are just large chains. I like to see the a spot for the little guy is all.

On a different note, I heard that a large home improvement store laid off workers, workers who had reached their 90 days and were about to get benefits. The had a new set of workers to start. Someone is going to have some bad Karma. I've made a note to myself not to shop there.

You may ask what this has to do with housing? nothing really. It does speak to the economy as a whole. Truth is, it's not a good picture.
